Zanerobe Sustainability Actions

Used recycled and organic fabrics

ZANEROBE said it chose recycled polyester, recycled nylon, and organic cotton for some products to lower its environmental impact. It explained that recycled polyester can come from PET bottles, while recycled nylon can be made from waste like fishing nets and old plastics. It also said organic cotton avoids synthetic pesticides and uses less water and energy than conventional cotton. These fabric choices were presented as part of its effort to make clothing that is durable and lower impact.

Started sustainable styles in 2021

In 2021, the brand launched its first sustainable styles in the Couleur collection. It said these pieces used organic cotton and recycled nylon, and that it wanted to add a larger share of sustainable designs in future seasons. This shows a shift from general sustainability talk to specific product changes, although the public material does not give a full breakdown of how much of the range now uses these materials.

Changed packaging and office supplies

ZANEROBE said it moved wholesale orders into re-purposed cartons already in its supply chain, and later switched online satchel bags to biodegradable and compostable materials through a packaging partner. It also said it moved office supplies to recycled paper products and gave staff reusable cups to cut single-use coffee cups. These steps were aimed at reducing waste from packaging and everyday office use.

Planted trees through sales

The brand reported several tree-planting efforts linked to sales events and customer orders. It said it worked with One Tree Planted to plant trees in Australia, the United States, and Canada, including campaigns tied to Black Friday and Earth Day. In December 2023, it said it had planted 3,567 trees in that year and 26,087 trees in total. These projects were framed as a way to support reforestation and reduce environmental harm.

Donated clothing and disaster aid

ZANEROBE said it donated 400 units of clothing to Thread Together, a group that redistributes new and excess clothing to people in need. It also said it raised money for the Australian Bushfire Appeal and donated clothing to fire-affected communities. These actions were social and environmental at the same time, because they helped people while also keeping usable clothing in circulation instead of sending it to waste.

Reduced shipping emissions

The brand said it teamed up with DHL on a Go Green program to offset the carbon emissions from online deliveries and other freight. It described this as making its delivery activity carbon neutral and said it aimed to reach net zero by 2030. Carbon offsetting means paying for projects that are meant to balance out emissions elsewhere, such as renewable energy or water projects. The public material does not show independent proof of the full impact of these offsets.
