Head of Production and Ethical Sourcing at Cargo Crew

Earth Day was last Monday and it's always a good time to take stock of our ESG and circular accomplishments. We all know that the journey towards a more sustainable and circular future takes time and sustainability is about progress, not perfection. So, what progress the team at Cargo Crew and I have been working on? I am excited to share and celebrate that: ♻️ We have diverted from landfill close to 2 tones of textiles with the amazing support of Sonia Konstantinou and Riley Aickin at UPPAREL. Our Recycling Uniform Program have been helping businesses like Stockland, OPSM or City of Whittlesea to divert and recycle their old uniform. 👩🏻🤝👨🏿 We are pursuing our partnership with Thread Together and recently donated some clothing to help support people in need and create positive change. The volunteer team at Thread Together collects end of line brand new stock from brands and gives them to people in need; which also keep clothing in circulation and protect the environment by saving these items from landfill.Thanks for your help Danni Williams 👕 We have almost sold out one of our fabric references on the Circular Sourcing platform. 8 rolls of fabric have been purchased and sent all over Australia to find a new owner and have a new life. Circular sourcing has been created by Courtney Holm to help businesses selling their dormant stock of fabric and therefore diverting greenhouse gas and textile from landfill. Such a brilliant initiative. Thanks to Lily Clatworthy who has been (and still is!) incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. We are working every day, to prioritise meaningful and genuine environmental impact and act on social issues. It’s a long journey but it’s exciting to see all these progresses coming along. Thanks for the amazing support of the team here Michelle, Constance, Niamh, Ishan Perera... #circular #sustainability #environment #social #governance
