ASOS - Fashion with Integrity

A lot of businesses don’t consider sustainability or corporate responsibility, especially in the world of fast fashion. For ASOS, however, it’s at the heart of everything they do.

The approach is admirable, and their Fashion With Integrity guide is just the start of how they’re building a future that’s as passionate about fashion, as it is about the world around us.

Look deeper into their sustainability promise, and you’ll find four pillars ASOS have built for long-term success:

• Traceability of raw materials
• Lowering environmental impact of raw materials
• Craftsmanship
• Engaging customers on sustainability

Senior Sustainability Manager at ASOS, Tara Luckman, explains why the four pillars have become integral to the ASOS story:

"ASOS’s vision for a circular fashion economy is a future where all ASOS customers recycle their used clothing, and that pre and post-consumer waste is reused in the supply chain. Our four pillars will help us to realise our goal of becoming a circular fashion business by achieving supply chain transparency, measuring and managing environmental impacts, supporting local communities and engaging customers."

The sustainability war ASOS are winning

It’s compelling to find a company of ASOS’s stature standing tall against the mass problems of sustainability – especially in a world dominated by quick, cheap fashion trends.

Their corporate responsibility programme was launched in 2008 to tackle the issues, shortly followed by Fashion With Integrity just two years later in 2010.

According to ASOS, this: "drives our transparent, responsible and inclusive approach to business. It’s how we work with others to transform the impact of fashion on people, animals and the environment."

Their commitment to expanding these programmes each year has led to:

• The creation of more jobs
• An opportunity to help local communities prosper in the UK and overseas
• An increasing influence to create and source more sustainable and inclusive products
• Promoting social change, diversity and self-confidence

All powerful statements, but what do the figures say? Well, the stats back the pledge:

• 15% reduction in carbon and water footprint target for 2020
• 34% of all fibres used in ASOS brands come from sustainable sources
• 70% of clothes sold on ASOS Marketplace are vintage or pre-worn items, contributing to their 2020 Circular Fashion commitments
• 71% of the 4323 metric tonnes of cotton used in 2017 was more sustainable. Target of 95% by 2020
• 55% of leather sourced from LWG tanneries (from 31st December, 2019, 100% of leather will come from LWG tanneries)
• 140 colleagues participated in sustainability training at the Sustainable Fashion Academy
• 700 products sold on Eco Edit, ASOS’ sustainable fashion and beauty platform

Sustainable fashion glossary

Confused with some of the jargon around fashion and sustainability? Take a look at our quick guide below as a starter for 10:

• Craftsmanship: Traditional techniques for producing fabrics and accessories. Preserving these helps to retain heritage that could span across multiple generations.
• Fast fashion: The notion of designing and creating fashion quickly, based on fast moving trends and cheap prices. Can result in overproduction, high wastage, and potential environmental damage.
• Ethical: A term often used to describe the people part of manufacture. Unethical practices include cheap labour and environments where people aren’t left better off.
• Organic: Used commonly in the food industry, organic can refer to fashion produced without the use of fertilisers, pesticides or other chemicals.
• Fair Trade: Fair Trade was initiated to ensure producers (such as farmers) earn a better wage, usually sold at premium prices. It is not regarded as the same as living wages.
• Traceability: The ability to trace a supply chain for fabrics and accessories back to the producer or source of the product.
• Sustainable raw materials: Fashion produced with the use of sustainable materials, which can include natural colour fibres, certified wood, and sustainable cultivation cotton or linen.
• Recycled: Waste products that have been reused, whether as the same product, or as something entirely different.
