Seed Heritage Sustainability - SustainabilityTracker.com

Seed Heritage states that it believes it is responsible for respecting and protecting the environment, and that its approach is constantly evolving as it evaluates its social responsibility strategy across its supply chain. The brand says its manufacturers are audited and must meet ethical and social standards, with zero tolerance for child labour, discrimination, corruption, bribery, or animal cruelty. It also says it is committed to reducing environmental impact through packaging changes, phasing out single-use plastic, and using recycled paper and sustainably sourced supplies in its offices. Seed Heritage also supports charitable organisations and material sourcing initiatives.

Supplier conduct and audits

Seed Heritage apparel and accessories are sourced from a range of countries, including China, India, Vietnam, and Australia. Our contract with each supplier is the same - we request transparency and the ability to check the conditions under which our product is made. The Brandbank Group Code of Supplier Conduct applies to all factories we work with, and compliance records must be signed and adhered to by both suppliers and third parties. Our manufacturers, regardless of location, are audited and must adhere to ethical and social standards.

Chemical substance standard

We have voluntarily adopted a very strict European Union standard which addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment, regulating substances such as lead, cadmium and a group of aromatic amines originating from a small number of synthetic azo dyes. We ban the manufacture and sale of goods that contain prohibited levels of specific hazardous substances, including azo dyes.

Packaging and office materials

Seed Heritage is committed to reducing its environmental impact. Our shopping bags and packaging are made from 40% post-consumer content and are fully recyclable. This includes product labels and swing tags. Within the business, we’re phasing out single-use plastic and in our offices, we use recycled paper and favour sustainably sourced supplies.

Pre-loved garment donations

At Seed Heritage, we encourage our customers to donate their pre-loved Seed garments and accessories to Sacred Heart Mission. This keeps quality garments out of landfill and helps to support the organisation’s generous work within our community.
