Carillon Clothing Co/Bathurst Workwear Sustainability Actions

Used verified impact data

Leo Workwear worked with Green Story to show the environmental impact of its EcoViz range, which uses recycled or sustainably sourced fabrics. The company used third-party verified life cycle assessment data, meaning the numbers were checked against formal methods for measuring impacts across a product’s life. It then showed savings in carbon emissions, energy use, waste, and water on its online store and in its sustainability journal. The same data also supported reporting with Positive Planet.

Set up ESG supply checks

Bisley Workwear said it formed an ESG supplier compliance team in Shanghai to review SMETA 4-Pillar audits and non-conformances. SMETA is a common audit method for checking labour, health and safety, environment, and business ethics. It also increased auditing and onboarding across its value chain, ran local audits at embroidery and value-add partners, and appointed TrusTrace, a digital traceability tool, to help track products back through the supply chain.

Changed packaging and materials

Bisley said it moved garment bags to 100% ocean-bound plastic through Better Packaging Co., introduced synthetic recycled fabrics into new ranges, and switched to 100% recycled hangers. It also said it added OEKO-TEX 100 to industrial fabrics. OEKO-TEX 100 is a certification that checks textiles for harmful substances. These steps point to a push to reduce waste and use lower-impact materials in workwear packaging and products.

Cut warehouse electricity emissions

Bisley reported that electricity for its Australian and New Zealand warehouses and head office was converted to renewable alternatives. It also said it developed a detailed ESG roadmap and integrated it into the Bisley.POSITIVE program. This is an example of an operational change aimed at lowering the company’s direct environmental footprint, especially from energy use in offices and logistics sites.

Built circular workwear services

Workwear Group said it designs uniforms for circularity, meaning products are made to last longer and be easier to recover at the end of use. It also said it works on recycling and product recovery, textile recovery at end of life, and waste reduction across manufacturing and packaging. The company also mentioned fleet hybridisation, energy savings, renewables, LED lighting, and biodiversity protection as part of its climate work.

Expanded repair and resale

It also said RE;CODE has revived 32,211 garments through upcycling. These actions extend product life and reduce waste.
