Ted Baker Clothing Sustainability Commitments
2030
Make all collections responsibly sourced
Ted Baker says it wants 100% of its collections to be made from responsibly sourced materials by 2030. In plain terms, that means it plans to shift all collections toward materials it sees as better for people or the environment. The statement is broad, so it does not explain every material rule in detail, but it is a clear long-term sourcing target.
2024
Use better cotton inputs
Ted Baker has said it wants 100% of its cotton to be organic, recycled, or Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) certified by 2024. BCI is a cotton standard that aims to improve farming practices, though it is not the same as organic cotton. This target focuses on one of the most common fibres in clothing.
2030
Switch polyester to recycled
Ted Baker says it aims for 100% recycled polyester by 2030. Polyester is a common synthetic fibre made from fossil fuels, so using recycled polyester can reduce demand for new plastic-based material. The commitment is specific to one fibre, not the whole product range.
2025
Source cellulosic fibres responsibly
Ted Baker says all of its regenerated cellulosic fibres should come from FSC or PEFC certified forests by 2025. Regenerated cellulosic fibres are man-made fibres made from wood pulp, such as viscose or lyocell. FSC and PEFC are forest standards that check how wood is sourced and managed.
2030
Cut supply-chain emissions
Ted Baker has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 46.2% by FY2030/31 from a FY2019/20 base year. Scope 3 means emissions from the wider supply chain, such as materials, transport, and product use. This is important because third-party data says most of the brand’s emissions come from Scope 3.
2030
Reach net zero in operations
Ted Baker says it aims for 100% net zero emissions within its own operations by 2030. Net zero means balancing any remaining emissions with removals or cuts elsewhere, so the business’s direct operations no longer add to climate change. DitchCarbon also notes related science-based targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
