The Path to Sustainability
Our Path to Sustainability launched in March 2021 and lays out a comprehensive set of targets, concentrating on four key areas: Responsible Sourcing; Community Care; Reducing Emissions; and Increased Circularity.
Our Commitments
To acknowledge our shortcomings and continually improve
To ensure our practices and policies exceed regulatory requirements
To quantitatively measure our impact and work with industry regulators
To better our sourcing and processing of raw materials
To apply our high standards to all our suppliers and partners
To share updates on our progress with our customers, employees and partners
The Sun Logo
You may have already spotted the Sun Logo while shopping with Paul Smith online or in-store. This logo means a minimum of 50% of that product is composed of materials we consider having a lower environmental impact than conventional alternatives.
