Kowtow Clothing Ltd Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability strategy

2022 was a busy year for Kowtow, a key highlight being the launch of our very first Sustainability Strategy. This strategy is the pillar and backbone of Kowtow, driving all business and design decisions. It has been amazing to get our thoughts down on paper in an ordered way, with clear deadlines, and all aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Returned to one fibre

From 2021 we returned to only using Fairtrade organic cotton for all styles so we could be clear and confident in our transparency. We are singular natural fibre experts and believe this focus is our strength, still allowing us to provide a full offering.

Fairtrade since inception

Fairtrade certified since our inception in 2006, every part of our supply chain is traced from seed to garment. Independently audited and certified by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisation International (FLO), it ensures farmers are paid fairly, while working to improve sustainability, governance, inequality and community development in surrounding communities.

Published impact report

Our new Impact Report is here. It’s full of big wins and small steps towards circularity, fairness and transparency. We’re building a future where your clothes don’t end up in landfill — but instead, live many lives, break down naturally, or come back to us to begin again.

At Kowtow, we believe in doing business differently, putting people and the planet first. We lead with transparency in everything we do, which is why we openly share our policies on environmental responsibility, ethical business practices, and human rights.
