PLANET
We are dedicated to protecting the environment for future generations by taking proactive actions including: reducing waste, educating our supply chain, and implementing sustainable practices throughout our operations.
PEOPLE
We're committed to improving the lives of women & girls.
As a women-founded and led business, we’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of women and girls. We’ve partnered with several organisations to donate resources that help Australian women and girls to thrive.
Our partnership with Fitted For Work sees us provide uniforms and workwear to women experiencing difficulties in securing sustainable employment. Because when women are fitted for work, they’re fitted for life.
Our most recent charitable partner, Stars, provides a holistic program that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and young women to attend and remain engaged at school, complete Year 12 and move into work or further study.
Our yearly fundraisers support cancer research and helps those impacted by the disease. With the support of our employees and customers, we hope to continue to make a positive impact on the fight against cancer.
ETHICAL SUPPLY CHAINS
Responsible Chain
We take our responsibility to create a better world seriously. That’s why we work with ethical manufacturing partners in Australia and offshore to ensure that our corporate uniform solutions are made sustainably, without compromising on quality.
Textile recycling takes your company’s old uniforms and turns them into new products, reducing waste and conserving resources. It’s a smart and sustainable way to keep your team looking sharp while doing good for the environment.
We’re proud to partner with Textile Recyclers Australia as part of our commitment to sustainability, ensuring that our uniforms are responsibly recycled, diverting them from landfill and contributing to a circular economy while reducing our environmental impact.
Textile Recyclers AustraliaWe give responsible companies a sustainable solution to recycle their unwanted, pre and post-worn uniforms. The textiles are collected, shredded and then processed to be upcycled as new fibres. During this process, they are identified by composition and sorted into fibres and colours. Then they are cleaned, baled, shredded and spun back into a new usable yarn!
PRODUCT PACKAGING
Saving the planet one order at a time.
At Designs To You, we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint wherever possible. That’s why we use recycled and recyclable delivery satchels to get your uniforms to you, without harming the planet. Not only do they look great, but they’re also part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability – a small change that can make a big difference!
