OUR RESPONSIBILITY
We’re all about turning up the joy, so it matters to us that our clothes are made in ways you can feel good about.

WE ARE B CORP CERTIFIED™ We're thrilled to have received our B Corp certification with a score of 85.0 (the pass mark is 80), through assessments of our governance, workers, community, environment and customers. Click here to download our impact report, and see how our scores compare to the rest of our sector. Being a B Corp means we're part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. Receiving our certification this year was a huge milestone, but it's by no means an end goal – as a business, we’re continually asking ourselves how we can do better. Better for the planet and better for people.
BETTER FOR THE PLANET We care deeply about the kind of world we’re going to leave behind for future generations and are committed to minimising our impact on the planet as much as we can. That’s in everything we do – from our operations and supply chain to the pieces we make.
UNDERSTANDING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT We’re focused on reducing our emissions so we can play our part in limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. You can’t manage what you can’t measure though, so our focus over the past year has been on gaining a clear understanding of how much carbon we emit and understanding the actions we can take to minimise climate change. |
LOWERING THE IMPACT OF OUR DESIGNS First and foremost, we design clothes to be worn. A lot. Over many seasons and hopefully by more than one person. We’re not about fast fashion; we’re about high-quality and versatile pieces that last, that are both good value and sustainable through use. As part of this, and our goal to reduce emissions, we’re serious about the fabrics we use. For example, we prioritise using recycled or renewable and responsible materials. To learn more about some of these lower impact fibres and fabrics, allow us to introduce you to our materials. HELPING YOU CARE FOR YOUR CLOTHES The way we care for our clothes can also make a huge difference to their overall impact. Simple swaps can reduce energy, water and harmful chemical usage – whilst also extending their lifecycle. That’s why we design the majority of our products to be washed at 30 degrees. You can find a number of our tips on how to care for your Hush pieces with minimal impact, and to ensure they stand the test of time, in our care guide. PEOPLE |
CELEBRATING OUR TEAM From the colleagues in our concessions to Hush HQ, our team is as enthusiastic as we are dedicated, and we do it all with passion (and a sense of humour). It is our aim that everybody loves coming to work, every single day. Our ambition is to be our very best and to do it our way – we’ll always make time for fun team activities, as well as a few perks. We encourage everyone’s personal development. We’re also dedicated to working with the communities around us through numerous volunteering opportunities, coordinated by our wonderful People Committee and HR team.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION From the very beginning, our aim has been to ensure that everyone feels welcome at Hush. From colleagues and would-be employees to customers and those we work with every day – it’s our mission to foster an environment where people can be themselves, feel valued and be comfortable sharing their thoughts and opinions. As a business, that means our leadership team is committed to embedding DE&I into everything we do. Allyship is hugely important to us and, as a team, we expect everyone at Hush to treat each other with respect every day. Learn more about our commitments and initiatives here.
PARTNERING WITH OUR SUPPLY CHAIN We recognise that real change also needs to happen beyond our own team and the four walls of our HQ. That’s why we’re building and strengthening long-term relationships with suppliers we trust, at home and abroad. Working together with our suppliers and our partners at The Reassurance Network, we conduct regular factory assessments at our established factory base – with a focus on social, ethical, chemical and environmental factors within these sites.
