Responsibility
Our efforts to do and be betterResponsibility
While our journey of sustainable improvement is never-ending, we’re taking ownership through education, awareness and tangible guidelines. We look for ways to improve and do better, daily. Setting annual commitments allows us to hold ourselves accountable and hopefully make it easier for others to do so, too. Though this sometimes feels vulnerable (and we definitely don’t mind oversharing), we’re convinced that it’s the best way forward. Change doesn’t happen overnight, and some things might seem simple while actually being very complex.
We also hope that sharing our journey more openly inspires other industry partners to learn from us — or perhaps even join forces to co-create solutions. We know we’re far from perfect, but we believe that making mistakes — and learning from them — is all part of our path for improvement.

Minimizing our footprint
We love leaving our mark, just not on the planet. That’s why we track the environmental impact of our facilities, operations, and logistics in collaboration with Root. By collecting data on energy, waste, water, and carbon emissions, we’re setting concrete reduction goals. While we’ve started with our own operations, we plan to expand this to our products—implementing strategies like using renewable energy, reducing water consumption, and integrating post-consumer recycled materials or zero-waste designs.
Logistics also play a big role in our footprint. We’ve updated our collection drop structure to reduce reliance on air transport and will set CO2 reduction targets in 2023. More responsible transport and travel policies are already in the works.
Another area of focus is packaging. We’ve taken steps to reduce our use of virgin plastics and unnecessary materials. Since FW23, we’ve transitioned to recycled plastic polybags for garment transit, and by the end of 2023, all packaging materials will be from responsible sources. Additionally, we’ve partnered with RePack to offer customers a reusable and recyclable packaging option for online orders.

What is B Corp?
As a B Corp, we're part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.We're committed to using our business as a force for good.
What does it take to become
B Corp Certified?
Companies undergo a thorough assessment by B Lab, an organization dedicated to reshaping the economy for the benefit of society and the planet. We must score a minimum of 80 out of 200 points and have to be completely transparent.
How did we get here?
Over the past years, we made more responsible choices for both our people and the planet. We launched RELOVE, increased supply chain transparency, and now nearly half of our styles use sustainable materials. Collaborating with Root Sustainability, we're tracking our environmental footprint.The future is bright
This milestone marks just the beginning of our journey to create positive change in the fashion industry. We're dedicated to improving our social and environmental impact every step of the way. Looking ahead, we acknowledge that our B Corp certification is only the beginning in a long-term journey. We'll continue to collaborate with supply chain partners to support fair wages and reduce CO2, water, waste and toxic materials in the production process. This includes, for example, increasing the use of more responsible materials to 100% and investing in textile-to-textile recycled materials. We'll also promote circularity through our RELOVE platform, plus investigate opportunities for a repair program, and actively encourage female empowerment by supporting local foundations focused on gender equality.
From creation to Relove
Sustainability starts with the materials we choose. In 2022, 24% of our materials met our “more responsible” standards, growing to 35% in 2023. While we didn’t quite reach our 40% goal, it’s strong progress—one we’re accelerating to reach 100% by 2028.

But sustainability isn’t just about what we create—it’s also about how long it lasts. Our pieces are made to be loved season after season, and we’re exploring ways to extend their lifespan through maintenance, reuse, repair, and recycling. In June 2023, we launched RELOVE, a platform where customers can buy and sell pre-loved Fabienne Chapot designs, promoting more conscious shopping habits.
We’re also updating our care guide to help customers extend the life of their garments—covering everything from soap to (not) washing, avoiding microplastics, and more. By making smarter choices in materials, design, logistics, and circularity, we’re working toward a future where fashion leaves a lighter footprint.
