WE ARE ON A MISSION

At Lone Design Club, we believe in acting responsibly and sustainably in all our activities and recognise that our ways of working can make a difference to our impact on the world.  We know that our customers expect us to abide by the highest standards and we seek to deliver that and to build on that trust.

We know that fashion is a complex business that can have both negative and positive impacts on the environment and our communities. We know that by following our values through good business practice, and by striving to constantly do better, we can help improve the industry and support global efforts to minimise the impact of our business on the environment. 

OUR ACTIONS

SUPPLY CHAINS

Modern Slavery and Human trafficking are known to be some of the worst examples of human rights abuses, and we do not tolerate this in our brands’ supply chains. Our Ethical Trade Code of Conduct underpins our belief in best practice in the supply chain and describes the minimum standards that all our brands and partners must operate to. 

MATERIALS

We know that the raw materials used in our brands’ products contribute to the overall impact of our business on the environment and so we aim to achieve full traceability of those raw materials. Where possible we use recycled or repurposed materials for our store design and events in an effort to reduce waste.

CODE OF CONDUCT

We encourage our brands and partners to work with us and wherever possible to do more than the legal minimum and to push towards continuous improvement in their operations with regards to the key areas of ethical trading, environmental protection and business ethics.  We will work together to create a business environment that supports the delivery of our goals by making sure we understand the challenges and opportunities in and by working in a spirit of partnership with our suppliers. 

Our code of conduct states the minimum standards that Lone Design Club expects of all its brands and partners with regards to social issues and the working conditions of all workers.. They  will be required to read and sign the declaration of understanding which commits them to comply with this Code and confirm that they share our values.

SHARED VALUES

In cases where the standards are not being met, we will do our best to work towards a positive resolution, but we will not hesitate to terminate those business relationships if it becomes clear that our values are not shared. 

BRAND CURATION 

Our brands and partners are required to align with and support our values as defined in our Ethical Trade code of conduct. We believe that through mutual transparency, we can create a better way of working that inherently delivers governance of and best practice in the key areas of ethical trading, environmental protection and business ethics. 

These standards are based on the provisions of the Ethical Trade Initiative Base and the ILO.

VM & IN STORE

When it comes to our pop-up stores we can proudly say that our props, furniture and window displays are all constructed of  recycled or salvaged materials. Re-using and re-purposing old stage sets, mannequins, furniture and props means we are not buying new every time we pop-up and don't need to dispose of it when we move on. 

OUR VALUES 

To ensure you know our sustainability and values are shared between us and all of our brands, each one is assigned one or more of our 3 distinct values. Symbols have been created to assign the values of sustainability, ethical practice and social elemetns to each brand, appearing under their 'brand values' on their collection pages.
