Sustainability at Radley London

Our Commitment To The Planet

14 May 2024

We only have one, so we want to make sure we treat it right. We love making the most beautiful handbags and we do this in a responsible way for our planet. With the ESG (ethical, social, and governance) strategy we have in place.

 

We always have our finger on the pulse of how we can make positive changes in our business and encourage change elsewhere. Ethically, environmentally and socially. This makes a big difference in how we design, source, manufacture and sell our products. And here’s how.

ETHICALLY PRODUCED

 

  • First up, we select materials for their environmentally friendly properties, focusing on best practice processes and recycled and reused resources

  • 100% of our leather is certified by the Leather Working Group (more on them below). 95% of our tanneries are Gold Standard (the remaining 5% is Silver or Bronze). 

  • Every season we’re growing our sustainable non-leather Radley Responsible range

  • We manage our use of chemicals. Our testing programme – including our primary, secondary and tertiary suppliers – ensures no direct environmental damage 

 

WHO ARE THE LEATHER WORKING GROUP?

The organisation responsible for the world's leading environmental certification for the leather manufacturing industry.

SMART WITH RESOURCES

  • Packaging on the orders you receive is made from 100% recycled material, and also 100% recyclable, so we can create an infinite loop 

  • All of our leather is a by-product from the food industry

  • We get the most out of our materials when cutting our products, every piece we save from going to waste is better for the planet 

  • By planning ahead for our collections, we know exactly where we need to send our materials so we can use slower but less carbon heavy methods of transportation

LOOKING AFTER OUR PEOPLE

  • We audit our entire supply chain – including the suppliers of our suppliers – to ensure everyone feels safe and secure in their work environment

  • We provide support and training for suppliers who need guidance to meet the audit standards

  • Every person within our supply chain, regardless of gender, sexual or religious orientation or belief, is treated equally 

  • We’ve worked with some of our partners (now friends) since the beginning of Radley London. And some with over three generations. We celebrate birthdays and wedding anniversaries together

 

BUY WELL TO BUY LESS

  • Our bags (and purses and accessories) are made for life. Every design is made to last and when looked after properly, only gets better with age

JOIN US ON OUR JOURNEY. WE’LL ALWAYS BE HONEST ABOUT THE PROGRESS WE MAKE AND THE WORK WE STILL HAVE TO DO.
