ME+EM Sustainability - SustainabilityTracker.com

ME+EM presents its sustainability approach through four pillars: flattering, functional, forever and fair. The brand says its sustainability purpose informs how it sources materials, transports collections, and manages environmental, social and governance issues. It has a dedicated in-house sustainability team and works with industry expert organisations to shape its ESG framework. The company highlights responsible design, traceability, fair treatment of people across its supply chain, and circularity measures such as recycling or donating fabrics and trims. In 2025, ME+EM was certified by Positive Luxury.

Circularity and packaging

In our commitment to preventing materials or garments entering landfill, we recycle or donate our fabrics and trims from our head office to charities and partner with certified recycling agencies such as Recorra. We donate all unsold sample sale pieces to New Life, a charity supporting disabled and terminally ill children and their families. Our packaging is made from recycled, recyclable or reusable materials, including our ME+EM tote bag, crafted entirely from recycled plastic bottles. Our lookbooks are printed on PEFC certified paper from responsibly managed forests and controlled sources and 100% recyclable.
