Sustainability
INGMARSON completed a sustainability assessment as part of our partner application process. To promote transparency, their responses to our questions are below:
What is our mission?
Our vision is to be an exemplar brand and trusted source for affordable sustainability so that we can show other small businesses how to produce ethically and sustainably.
Our sustainability statement?
Our dedication to eco-friendly production is reflected by local production, the use of ethically sourced and organic fabrics, sustainable embroidery threads, and eco-friendly packaging. For every sale, we donate a percentage to climate-related projects.
What UN Sustainable Development Goals are we contributing to?
We are aware that every part of the manufacturing pipeline needs to be considered, and as such, we are constantly looking to improve the impact we have on the environment and we look to reduce this impact year on year. We track all 17 of the UN Sustainability Development goals when sourcing materials or garments, and by working in partnership with companies committed to reducing the global impact, we can reduce our impact on the environment by switching to more sustainable materials and garments as soon as they become available. We directly support 'climate action' by donating money for every purchase to climate-related projects and support 'responsible production' through our policies on zero waste for knitwear production.
Do we have any certifications?
All our cotton garments are 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. Embroidery threads are certified according to REACH and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Our products have been externally validated for their ethical and sustainability impact.
What internal measures do we take to reduce our company’s carbon footprint?
Garments are embroidered on demand locally in London, and our woollen scarves are knitted on-demand by our sister company, EcoKnitware in London. Our on-demand production ensures we only produce garments that are needed and never have stock that is not wanted.
How do we adhere to fair labor conditions?
By using evidence-based evaluation of our suppliers, we can ensure that all parts of our supply chain adhere to fair labour conditions.
