Ted Baker Clothing Sustainability Actions

Published sustainability priorities

Ted Baker has set out three main sustainability areas: people, product, and planet. On its sustainability page, it says it wants fair and safe workplaces, more responsible material choices, and lower environmental impact across its business. The page also says the company wants to build trust and support more conscious buying by giving customers more sustainable options. This is a broad framework rather than a detailed report, but it shows the brand has publicly named the main areas it says it is working on.

Joined circular fashion project

In 2019, Ted Baker took part in the Circular Fashion Fast Forward project with the London Waste and Recycling Board and QSA Partners. The project explored circular economy models, which means ways to keep clothes in use for longer through hire, resale, repair, and rental instead of throwing them away. The goal was to test new business models and share what was learned with other fashion brands. This is a practical step toward reducing waste and making clothing use more efficient.

Released recycled-fibre tailoring

In 2022, Ted Baker launched a suit made with recycled plastic bottles through a collaboration with Repreve, a supplier of recycled fibres. The product was described as using reused materials in the fabric mix. This shows the brand has used recycled inputs in at least some products, rather than relying only on new raw materials. It is a product-level action, not proof that the whole range is made this way.

Publishes supplier standards

Ted Baker says it has a code of conduct for suppliers and subcontractors based on International Labour Organization rules, which are global labour standards. It also says it checks compliance through visits and third-party audits, sometimes announced and sometimes unannounced. Panaprium also notes that the brand publishes a list of manufacturers and processing sites. These steps suggest some supply-chain oversight, although independent ratings still say the brand does not give enough detail overall.

Uses some certified materials

Third-party summaries say Ted Baker uses some certified materials, including GOTS, OCS, GRS, RCS, FSC, PEFC, BCI, RDS, RWS, BSCI, SA8000, SMETA, and SEDEX. These are standards for things like organic textiles, recycled content, responsible forest products, animal welfare, and labour checks. This does not mean every product is certified, but it does show the brand has used recognised standards in parts of its supply chain.
