The brand, ,
said it hopes to reduce its impact on the planet by putting an emphasis on
utilizing recycled materials and harnessing renewable energy sources and
carbon offsets.
By 2022, the brand aims to cut all virgin plastic in its supply chain –
it already uses 100 percent compostable, plant-based bags for shipping –
and eliminate virgin plastics, instead only using recycled polyester fibres
to make shell fabrics, labels, and trims.
The company also aims to offset 100 percent of its greenhouse gas (GHG)
scope 1 emissions and have its headquarters, warehouse and retail stores
run on 100 percent renewable energy, while new facilities will be installed
with green energy sources, water meters, and waste management systems.
Additionally, the brand will encourage a ‘zero-waste philosophy’ –
continuing to work with local partners to use furniture that is either
second-hand or sustainably made in all its stores and its headquarters. The
brand will also provide employees with training, zero-waste challenge
initiatives, and reusable materials.
Commenting on the new initiatives in a statement, Frank And Oak’s CEO
and co-founder Ethan Song, said: “The climate crisis is an issue that is
deeply important to us at Frank And Oak. Over the last few years, we have
been able to be nimble and agile to adapt our business practices to better
serve our planet, and as well, our customers.
“Though we have made significant strides, we recognize that there is
still so much we need to do as the climate crisis continues to worsen. This
is why we have set such ambitious goals, to remain accountable to
ourselves, our customers and our communities.”
