Licensed apparel specialist, Aykroyd & Sons is preparing to publish its very own sustainable sourcing policy document, Sourcing for the Future, as part of its renewed push for better sustainability both in-house and across its supply chain.
The team has made major moves to restructure its Compliance and Sustainability division at the end of 2022 to bring on board a revitalised team to implement some major sustainability plans for the new year.
Other initiatives that fall under this new focus include the ‘accelerated rollout’ of its 3D Design and Technology service powered by Optitex and the publication of its first responsible sourcing document, Sourcing for the Future.
“This is something we’ve been working on for some time as we wanted to make clear to both our licensing and retail partners what our strategy and aims are in this area while making ourselves accountable for achieving them,” Rob Broadhurst, commercial director at Aykroyd & Sons, told Products of Change, the global educational hub aimed at driving sustainable change across consumer products markets and beyond.
“We’re coming in with a real energy to ensure the sustainable message stays at the forefront of both ours and our partners’ plans, despite all the challenges of the retail and economic climate.”
