OUR GENUINE ATTEMPT TO RECOGNIZE OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SUSTAINABILITY.
Whilst our core focus of Project Earth is the environment, the future of LSKD and its sustainability programme is grounded in 4 key pillars; Ecological, Social, Cultural and Economic impacts. We recognise that we are not all perfect, and have quite a distance to go, however, to effect change it must begin with us now. We are excited to share this journey with you as our community and invite you to contribute to our current and future steps to a more responsible and sustainable world.
More than a wall of statistics, this is a genuine attempt to recognise our responsibilities to sustainability as a sports and streetwear brand which encourages everyone, everywhere to be 1% better every day.
WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED
BIODEGRADABLE SHIPPING & GARMENT BAGS
Our biodegradable and compostable shipping bags are currently in circulation with instructions for the recipient on how to re-use the bag for returns.
RECYCLED FABRIC DEVELOPMENT &
PRODUCTION
Our product development team work with the best fabric mills and suppliers in the world and are constantly incorporating recycled fibers into our franchise fabrics.
UPPAREL TEXTILE RECYCLING INITITATIVE
Through our partnership with Upparel, we prevented 330kg of textiles from our community going into landfill last quarter. This preventing 1,155kg or Greenhouse Gases! As a recurring initiative, this is one we're really proud of.
OUR PATH AHEAD
These are our blueprints to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
COMMUNITY
LSKD is already well known for its community contribution with thousands of dollars raised for charity through a range of events. Project Earth is our opportunity to focus on the environment and once a quarter commit to an environmentally focused project in our local communities across Australia. This can be as simple as a local community clean, planting trees or pulling rubbish from our waterways.
