Building a sustainability strategy

How do you simplify complex information about your sustainability strategy to both your customer and internal teams? By navigating legislation, supply chains and sector innovation, I worked with fashion brand Fred Perry to do just that.

In an industry driven by overproduction and the subsequent impact on both people and planet, Fred Perry believes in making clothes that last. It’s a principle the brand has stood by for 70 years, balancing heritage with a responsibility to change and innovate. The brand’s starting point is always thoughtful design.

I worked with the Fred Perry team to deliver a sustainability communications strategy, first internally, and then to customers. We began by creating a framework for internal sustainability reports, including the report for 2022/2023. This was supported by a film - a conversation between me and Fred Perry’s Head of Quality - shown during the brand’s annual company-wide team day. From here, we created the strategy for incorporating sustainable practices into the website, due to be launched later in 2024.
