At Deane Apparel, our sustainability strategy is built on the pillars of Planet, People, and Prosperity, with social responsibility deeply embedded in how we operate, source, and engage with our communities.
We are committed to ethical sourcing and transparency across our supply chain, having completed a comprehensive Supplier Risk Assessment. All Tier 1 suppliers have signed our Supplier Code of Conduct, and we’ve implemented a Supplier Onboarding Process to ensure due diligence is applied consistently.
Our dedication to supporting local and indigenous communities is reflected in our partnerships and initiatives. Staff volunteer days are well received and attended.
Communication and education are central to our strategy. We launched our Sustainability Strategy in 2023 and shared it with staff, suppliers, and customers. A dedicated Sustainability Team meets regularly and reports to leadership, ensuring our goals remain visible and actionable. We also run quarterly lunch and learn sessions covering a wide variety of topics.
We’re proud of the strides we’ve made in embedding social sustainability into our business and remain committed to continuous improvement. Our journey is ongoing, and we will continue to listen, learn, and act to create meaningful impact for our people and communities.
