REIMAGINING THE PRODUCT LIFECYCLE

In this pillar of our sustainability strategy, we are re-examining and reimagining the entire life cycle of our products, from the sourcing of raw materials through how products are manufactured on to the process of sales and distribution. The overriding objective is to minimise environmental impact, which will in turn protect and preserve the heritage of our brands and the legacy of craftsmanship in our design and manufacturing.
