We are an innovative Belgian apparel company producing premium clothing for printing and decorating and our goal is to contribute to a fully sustainable supply chain. 

This webpages show our commitments and the steps we are taking to improve our supply chain for a healthier planet and happier people. 

We like to ‘say what we do and do what we say’, as we believe that sustainability is first and foremost a question of commitment and transparency. Through the report, we provide insights into the complex challenges associated with the textile industry, how we tackle those challenges, and what our future aspirations are. 

At Stanley/Stella, we have some ambitious plans for which the road ahead will be long and winding. We are striving to provide workers in our partner factories (i.e. our Tier 1 suppliers) with a living wage and are working to reduce our carbon footprint across our supply chain. 
 
Furthermore, we are excited to share the Stanley/Stella Charter, which will be our guiding framework towards operating as a responsible company in the garment industry.”

STANDING BY OUR COMMITMENTS


Placing focus on sustainability is no longer an option, it’s a must. 

At Stanley/Stella, sustainability  is  part  of  our  core  values  and  is  fully  integrated  in  our  business  culture. We believe that a fairer and more sustainable fashion industry is possible and  that  it’s  our  shared  responsibility  to  continuously  improve  how  we  create  and operate. From  the  cotton  field  to  our  collection,  to  how  we  manage  our  waste,  our  objective  is  always  to  act  with  transparency  for  people,  our  planet,  and  for  society. 

OUR COMMITMENTS
  

CHOOSING OUR MATERIALS CONSCIOUSLY

Fibre  selection  has  a  considerable  impact  on  how  long  a  garment  will  last  and how easily it can be recycled. This defines both the product quality and its  environmental  footprint.

By  choosing  the  highest  quality  raw  materials,  there is less need to blend them with other fibres. However,  no  material  is  perfect  and  there  are  many  trade-offs  to  be  made  in   finding   the   best   solution.   For   example,   to   give   our   products   more   stability  and  longevity,  we  sometimes  need  to  incorporate  synthetic  fibres.  At  all  times,  we  make  conscious,  carefully  weighed  decisions  about  which  materials to use. 

OUR MATERIALS
  

MINIMIZING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, clearing forests, and cultivating land for agricultural use contribute to climate change by emitting CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are devastating for the earth. 

At Stanley/Stella, we recognise that we have a responsibility to mitigate and reduce  our  impact  on  the  environment,  and  we  place  a  specific  focus  on  CO2 emissions across our supply chain and on water use. 

OUR FOOTPRINT
  

CARING ABOUT PEOPLE

At  Stanley/Stella,  fair  and  safe  working  conditions,  and  well-being  in  the  workplace are at the heart of our operations and organisation. 

In our Brussels headquarters and local liaison offices, we have implemented a  number  of  mechanisms  to  promote  well-being  and  ensure  a  good  and  motivating  working  environment  for  all  those  involved  in  bringing  our  collections to life.

On top of this, we work closely with our partner factories to improve working conditions in line with our Fair Wear Foundation membership, and we strive to ensure worker remuneration that is more in line with a living wage.

Finally, as we believe it is our duty to support the local communities that are part of our ecosystem, we have initiated various projects to make our commitments even more concrete. 

OUR ENGAGEMENT
  

THE STANLEY/STELLA COMMUNITY

Building strong partnerships and taking a collective approach is essential to the development of our activities.

Every supplier we work with is chosen very carefully.

We only work with a limited number of partner factories, and every new factory is rigorously audited and monitored by our Sustainability team and validated according to various social and environmental criteria.

The decorators, resellers, and Print-on-Demand suppliers who make up our exclusive partner network are trusted collaborators who we consider as an extension of the Stanley/Stella family.  
They, along with our logistics partners, share our sustainable DNA and commitment to quality.
