To be real with you, we acknowledge there is work to be done to reduce our environmental impact. The reality is, we deliver world-class innovations on a global scale, and we are very mindful of the impact this can have.
We accept this is an industry-wide problem and we are working on playing our part. One way we can invest in being more sustainable is by making smart choices about who we team up with.
We are proud members of the Better Cotton. And we are committed to sourcing at least 50% of our cotton as ‘more sustainable cotton’ by 2025.
More sustainable cotton includes cotton sourced as Better Cotton, recycled, Fairtrade and organic cotton.
Better Cotton is sourced via a system of mass balance and is not physically traceable to end products.
Better Cotton exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector’s future.
By choosing cotton products from Oakley, you’re supporting responsible cotton production through Better Cotton.
