Better for the planet, better for you.

3 Key steps to reduce our footprint on a planet we love

Even as a small team of 4, we’re conscious that our brand could become another contributor to landfills, deforestation, and carbon emissions.

We’ve taken 3 essential steps to ensure we leave our planet in a better way than we found it, without compromising on our commitment to bringing you incredible sports accessories.

 

1

We’re committed to supporting local craftsmen and women and in doing so, we can minimise the carbon mileage of all our products.

2

We’re committed to partnering with ethically responsible factories where we frequently scrutinise the materials we create with.

We ensure that we’re producing sportswear using sustainable fabrics made by people earning a fair wage for their skill and craft. We take this ethos into our packaging, opting for recyclable or fully compostable where possible.

3

We’re committed to giving back to our planet.

In partnership with Verdn, every purchase you make with us plants trees; real, living, breathing trees that help us to restore green spaces across the Earth we play the sports we love on.

 

We are very conscious that we’re by no means perfect, this is just the start of our journey. As a new start-up we are putting in the Hard Yards both on and off the field and we hope you will join us for every step towards building a better sports brand that’s better for the planet, and for you.
