Sustainability – pm Studio the creative lab

SUSTAINABILITY - FRENCH

We are dedicated to not only the latest trends, but we believe that the future of our planet and environment depends on a critical move towards a greener way of life.

We prioritise our search for suppliers who innovate and actively seek to make sustainable and environmentally sound materials, and who take the whole concept further to benefit their local areas.

ECOLOGICALLY

We seek out raw materials which can be manufactured in the cleanest possible way, or those which can be recycled and give new life to other materials.

Work with suppliers who use water-based PUs, recycled PET (RPET) textiles and materials; paper which comes from sustainably managed sources. We seek out raw materials which can be manufactured in the cleanest possible way, or those which can be recycled and give new life to other materials.

WORKING CONDITIONS

All of the factories that we work with are audited to at least a Sedex SMETA standard – a well recognised and respected industry standard for environmental and social compliance.

All of the factories that we work with are audited to at least a Sedex SMETA standard – a well recognised and respected industry standard for environmental and social compliance), to ensure that they are socially and environmentally engaged. In addition to these audits, we also send our own team of inspectors to the factories on a regular basis to check ourselves that the expected standards are maintained

We work to our own audit specs and review results every 3 to 6 months depending on our findings from previous visits, to be certain that shortcomings are rectified

SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

Work with factories who take their responsibility towards their local community seriously. We encourage the employment of disabled workers and other disadvantaged people, as well as finding other ways to give back to the area

Strongly believe that it is not enough to simply hire disabled or disadvantaged people, but that the support and guidance that is needed is also provided to them, to make their integration as members of the workplace fully valuable and successful We have factories involved in more in-depth community contributions such as helping to build schools, their owners are part of the village committees and an integral part of local life

DIVERSITY &
