Standing
by our commitments
To achieve our social and environmental objectives, we need to go, see and understand our impacts in the supply chain and translate our commitments into concrete actions.
Committed
and Continuous Progress
Sustainability has been a core value since day one, deeply rooted in every part of our business. It drives our choices in raw materials, product design, and collection development. It shapes our workplace policies, recruitment, and partnerships with factories, decorators, and resellers.
Our Stanley/Stella Charter, launched in 2022, reinforces our commitment to using business as a force for good. It outlines our goals on key environmental, social, and governance issues, guiding the entire Stanley/Stella ecosystem to continuously improve.

Our People
supporting sustainability
People and Sustainability are part of Stanley/Stella core values that guide us on our journey.
Across our entire operations and organisation, we seek to create working environments that feel positive and empowering, and where consideration for people, the planet, and society is integrated in everyday decisions and actions.
Our products
We aim to create best-in-class products that meet the diverse needs of the imprint industry, while always upholding the highest environmental and social standards.
Responsible product development
As we serve a B2B audience, our main collection is relatively stable, with timeless products and colours that often remain available for several years.
Sustainable design practices
Our dedication to innovation drives us to reduce the environmental impact of our products, including working towards a more circular mindset.
Optimised decoration results
We leave no stone unturned when it comes to providing the best possible fabric surface for decoration. Our in-house decoration team of five people test every fabric and colour combination and support our customers in achieving outstanding and long-lasting decoration results. We also impose decoration standards on our network of dealers and actively support them in achieving GOTS certification by transitioning to sustainable inks and processes.
Our responsible
value chain
We carefully select our raw materials
We only use GOTS certified organic cotton and recycled polyester, and these raw materials are sourced with the utmost care.
We collaborate with state-of-the-art factories
We work with 11 partner factories in Bangladesh which are GOTS and GRS certified, and 1 partner factory in China, which is GRS certified. In both countries, we have local teams on hand to provide support.
Our partners for transport & storage
Our choice of transportation and warehouse partners is also a key consideration as we strive to reduce our environmental impact while ensuring a high service level.
We team up with a dedicated distribution network
Our network of Official Dealers share our vision and values, and we encourage and support them in achieving GOTS certification.
The Stanley/Stella Charter
The Stanley/Stella Charter, launched in 2022, is our guiding framework which represents what we stand for as a company in the garment industry.
It articulates our commitment to addressing critical environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in our area of influence, and outlines the ten core principles that guide our behaviour and inspire the entire Stanley/Stella community to care about our planet and its people.
