bassike Sustainability Actions

B Corp certification achieved

Bassike achieved B Corp certification in June 2022. B Corp is an outside certification for companies that meet set standards on social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The brand says the review looks at areas such as supply chains, raw materials, and charitable giving, and that it supports ongoing improvement rather than a one-time check. This shows Bassike has already gone through a formal third-party assessment of its business practices.

Uses organic cotton and GOTS yarn

Bassike says organic cotton was part of its first collection and still plays a major role in its products. It also says its jersey yarn is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, which means it meets a strict standard for organic fibres and processing. The brand explains that organic cotton avoids toxic chemicals and GMOs, and that it supports soil and ecosystem health. This points to a long-running focus on lower-impact materials in its clothing.

Shifted to renewable energy

Bassike says it has moved to 84% GreenPower renewable energy across the organisation. GreenPower is an Australian renewable electricity program that lets businesses buy power backed by renewable sources. This is an operational change, not just a claim about products. It suggests the brand has already taken steps to lower the emissions linked to its own offices and operations.

Screens suppliers with SEMI

Bassike uses an internal Sustainable and Ethical Manufacturing Index, or SEMI, to screen manufacturing partners. The brand says this system uses certified or published data to track social and environmental performance in its supply chain. It also says SEMI helps rank fabric mills, manufacturing partners, and the material mix of each product. Bassike says this is meant to support human rights and guide decisions about ethical and sustainable manufacturing.

Recycles textile offcuts

Bassike says it has worked on waste reduction through textile recycling and repurposing. In 2022, it ran a pilot with Blocktexx, an Australian clean technology company, to reuse cotton textile offcuts from its jersey factory. It also says it works with UPPAREL, a textile recycling company, to give excess materials a new life and reduce textile waste. These steps show the brand is trying to keep fabric waste out of landfill.

Supports women in crisis

Bassike says it has supported the Northern Beaches Women’s Shelter since 2019. The shelter is a charity that provides crisis accommodation, food, clothing, and support services for women facing domestic violence, hardship, mental illness, or addiction. Bassike says its annual luncheon has raised more than $550,000 to date. This is a social impact action rather than an environmental one, but it is still part of the brand’s wider ESG work.
