Apparel Group Australia Sustainability Actions

Published ESG reports

The group provides downloadable ESG reports for 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, indicating an ongoing reporting practice. Its sustainability pages also reference a code of conduct and a stated sustainability policy. This suggests the business has established a formal ESG disclosure structure rather than treating sustainability as a one-off initiative. The material is presented as part of a broader corporate responsibility framework covering environmental, social and governance topics.

Started full carbon accounting

Apparel Group announced that it has begun full greenhouse gas accounting across scopes 1, 2 and 3 to establish a baseline and support reduction planning. The company said this work is intended to help define clear emissions targets and create a pathway toward net zero. It also stated that it had pledged to the UAE government’s race to net zero by 2050 and would submit targets to the Science Based Targets initiative.

Uses lower-impact materials

The group says its supply chain includes recycled nylon, recycled polyester and BCI cotton, and that it is exploring biodegradable fabrics. It also describes a biodegradable jacket project developed with external partners, and says the product was designed for end-of-life breakdown in an anaerobic environment. These claims indicate an effort to shift material choices toward lower-impact inputs and circular design concepts.

Reduced water and chemical use

The company states that its in-house print facility uses a process that conserves and recycles water, avoids toxic chemicals and produces no excess waste. It also says it operates on-site bioremediation for wastewater, air purification systems, and chemical removal through certified waste contractors. The business additionally claims that 3D design and newer printing technologies have reduced water consumption and eliminated harmful chemicals in parts of its operations.

Improved ethical fashion score

Retail Apparel Group says it works with Baptist World Aid to benchmark its ethical sourcing and worker-rights performance. It reports that its overall score in the Ethical Fashion Report improved from a C in 2019 to a B in 2021. The company presents this as part of a broader effort to increase transparency around labour conditions, environmental footprint and responsible sourcing in its supply chain.

Introduced 2024 initiatives

The company lists several 2024 initiatives, including setting carbon emissions improvement targets, implementing an environmental management system, mapping value- and supply-chain environmental impacts, and providing company-wide training on environmental impact. These actions suggest the business is moving from broad sustainability statements toward more operational planning and internal capability-building.
