PLANET

We know that, as a fashion brand, we’ve got a big responsibility to look after our planet. By 2025, we’ll reduce our energy usage and switch to renewable energy sources across our business. We’ll also be carbon neutral, cutting our emissions and offsetting our remaining carbon by planting trees. Conscious of the resources we use, we’ll reduce single-use plastic and increase our recycling rates, making sure nothing ends up in landfill.

What we have done Animal welfare

TO DO OUR BEST TO PROTECT WHERE WE PLAY - AND DO SO MUCH MORE - WE'RE FOCUSING ON FOUR DIFFERENT AREAS;

1

Reducing the impact of
our packaging

2

Using renewable energy to
power Head Office and all
UK stores

3

Reducing sending
waste to landfill

4

Reducing CO2 emissions

In 2021, we launched a ground-breaking 75 year partnership with the National Forest in the UK; a celebration of our long-term commitment to sustainability. Together with the National Forest, we planted 60,000 trees on a rewilded site in the Midlands. In time, “Minorca Woods” will become a thriving woodland for generations to enjoy, as well as a sequester for carbon.

USING RENEWABLE
ENERGY

FatFace has been carbon neutral for our own UK operations (scope 1 & 2) since 2021. A green tariff for renewable electricity for the sites that we manage has been procured since then and, while it is more expensive; we believe that this is a price worth paying. Every unit of renewable energy purchased comes with its own Renewable Energy Guarantee ofOrigin (REGO) certificate. This means there are little associated carbon emissions from our electricity. We have invested in verified carbon offsetting projects each year since 2021 to offset the small remaining balance of our emissions.

However, we realise there is more to do here. Most of the carbon emissions occur outside of our own scope 1 and 2 and we are working to map and quantify these scope 3 emissions associated with our business.

LOWER-IMPACT LIGHTING IN STORES

Our main usage of energy is in lighting our stores. Since 2023 we have been converting the store lighting to a more efficient, energy-saving LED solution. It is our aim to have all of our stores transitioned to LED’s by the end of 2025.

REDUCING WASTE
TO LANDFILL

How much waste we generate and how it is disposed is regularly measured and monitored, with the intention of limiting how much ends up in landfill. In 2024 we recycled more than 50% of our waste, with most of the balance being used to generate renewable energy. Only 2% was disposed to landfill.

ANIMAL WELFARE

We’re committed to safeguarding the welfare of animals farmed to produce the materials used in our products. You won’t find any down or feathers, fur, angora or mohair in our products and we’re working with partners to improve standards in wool production.

Our animal welfare policy outlines the expectations we have of our suppliers to ensure animals are raised, transported, and slaughtered under recognised higher animal welfare standards. These standards are based on the OIE’s Animal Health Codes or the Farm Animal Welfare Committee’s Five Freedoms that state animals should be:

1

Free from hunger and thirst

2

Free from discomfort

3

Free from pain, injury and disease

4

Free to express normal behaviour

5

Free from fear and distress

DOES FATFACE USE

FEATHER OR DOWN?

No. We are part of PETA’s list of retailers that have committed to keep feather or down out of our collections. Since summer 2017, we have not used down or feathers in any of our products. We instead use synthetic fillers, and where possible we use a partially-recycled polyester insulation that has similar warmth properties to down.

DOES FATFACE USE
FUR, MOHAIR OR ANGORA?

No. None of our products contain any animal fur, mohair or angora. This is due to the inhumane methods that can be used to breed animals for pelts and harvest mohair and angora.

DOES FATFACE USE
ANIMAL TESTING?

FatFace believes that beauty products should be cruelty free. We are proud to be Leaping Bunny approved. A global programme, Leaping Bunny requires cruelty free standards over and above legal requirements.

All of our own brand cosmetic and personal care products are approved under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny Programme, the internationally recognisable gold standard for cruelty free products. We adhere to a fixed-cut off date policy and proactively monitor our suppliers to ensure that our products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. Our supplier monitoring system is also independently audited.
