The Very Group says sustainability is a key priority and describes its approach through three pathways: Environment, Social and Product. It aims to reduce its global impact by fighting climate change, protecting natural resources, protecting human rights in its business and supply chain, and reducing the negative impact of its products on people and the environment. The company reports progress on supply chain mapping, cotton sourcing and training, and has set targets for net zero, supply chain transparency and reducing textile carbon footprint by 2030 and 2040.
