PrettyLittleThing Sustainability Actions

Supply chain checks and training

PrettyLittleThing’s parent group says it uses responsible purchasing practices, modern slavery training, anti-bribery training, and ethical compliance training across the business. It also says it works with Bureau Veritas, a third-party audit firm, and has a UK ethical compliance team to handle non-compliance. These steps are meant to spot problems in the supply chain and push suppliers to meet basic labour and safety rules.

Shifted freight to cut emissions

Boohoo Group, which owns PrettyLittleThing, reported an 8% drop in its market-based carbon footprint, from 852,370 to 781,146 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e, a way to measure greenhouse gases). It said this came from moving more goods by road or sea instead of air and from buying less fabric. This is an operational change already made, not a future promise.

Executive pay tied to ESG

The group linked part of senior executive bonuses to environmental, social, and governance (ESG, a way of measuring how a company handles people, planet, and management) progress. Drapers reported that 15% of the bonus was tied to ESG targets under the Agenda for Change programme. The targets included using more recycled or more sustainable materials, disclosing raw material suppliers, and improving the company’s standing as an online retailer to work for.

Launched resale marketplace

PrettyLittleThing launched PLT Marketplace, a resale app that lets people buy and sell pre-loved items from any brand. Resale can extend the life of clothing and may reduce the need to buy new items. However, Vogue noted that there was no clear sign this would reduce the brand’s overall clothing output.
