Kelly Country Factory Sustainability Actions

Offers made-to-measure clothing

Kelly Country says it makes tailored garments and also offers a made-to-measure service, where clothing is built to a customer’s measurements. This can matter for sustainability because better-fitting clothes may be worn longer and replaced less often. The company also says it has been designing and manufacturing clothing for more than 40 years, which suggests a long-running local production setup rather than a short-term retail model.

Runs a corporate uniform line

The company says it has a separate corporate apparel division that supplies uniforms to Australian businesses across several industries. Uniform programs can affect sustainability because they often involve bulk production, longer product life, and repeat orders. The source does not give details on materials, recycling, or labour standards, so the environmental and social impact of this line is not clear from the available information.

Uses natural fibres in quilts

A related Kelly & Windsor page says its quilts use natural fibres such as alpaca and merino wool. It describes these fibres as renewable and says the products are designed to last for many years. Longer-lasting products can reduce waste because people may need to replace them less often. The page also says the company manufactures in Australia and keeps production close to its materials.

Supports responsible manufacturing

The Kelly & Windsor material says the company controls the full production process in Australia, from fibre selection to final stitching. It says this helps reduce waste and unnecessary transport. The page also says the company is certified by the Australian Made Campaign, a mark that shows a product is made in Australia under that program’s rules. No further independent detail on the certification was provided.

Kelly Services publishes ESG reports

A separate Kelly Services sustainability page says its corporate sustainability and ESG strategy is built into business goals and aligned with nine UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also says the company publishes sustainability reports for 2018 through 2024 and has a sustainability policy statement. ESG means environmental, social, and governance issues, or how a company affects the planet, people, and its own rules and controls.

Reduces office and fleet impacts

Kelly Spicers says it has cut its environmental footprint through recycling, pallet reuse, e-waste recycling, lighting retrofits, preventive maintenance, and an idle-free delivery zone policy. It reports monthly recycling of mixed paper, cardboard, and plastic, and says some lighting upgrades reduced energy use by 11%, 12%, and 16% in different sites. These are operational actions aimed at lowering waste, fuel use, and emissions.
