Our Sustainability Framework

• Emissions & Key Environmental Issues

  What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?

  Sustainability is at the core of Robb & Lulu’s brand ethos. We strive to embody sustainability in all aspects of our supply chain. We recognise that successfully implementing sustainable practices is more than simply having a positive environmental impact: it’s also encouraging sustainable and equitable economies, and social behaviours. This is why we only use organic, natural fibres in all our products; and why choosing a female-led factory that pays a liveable wage is one of our key brand priorities. It is with these core values in mind that we are choose to only use Hero Packaging™ when shipping our online orders.

• Community Initiatives

  How does your company give back to the community (e.g. financial donations, volunteering, partnerships etc.)?

  We believe in giving back to ur planet so with every garment sold we donate a portion to the World Wide Fund. We only use Hero Packaging™ when shipping our online orders. Hero Packs™ are made from compostable corn starch and organic binding agents. Once used, they can be put in a household composting bin and will breakdown into plant food within 3-4 months. Although we’ve used Hero Packs™ since we began our adventure into sustainable fashion, when they recently released their new First Nations Mailers we saw our perfect packaging. First Nations Mailers are a new collaboration between Hero Packaging™ and Yarli Creative — the art practice of Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung and Gamilaroi Woman Madison Conners. Additionally, 20% of all profits from these beautiful satchels goes directly to the not-for-profit Children’s Ground. Children’s Ground works directly with Community Elders to implement programs in communities across Australia, based on principles of Indigenous Knowledge Systems. Incorporating Indigenous Knowledge removes an element of paternalism, often found in development organisations, which ensure that Indigenous children obtain the best possible outcome.
