OUR PROCESSES
MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT
At Raza & Co, sustainability is in our DNA, and our 5 brand values were created with our employees, garment workers and you in mind.
We only use the highest quality, sustainable materials and fabrics via a single supply chain, which means we’re involved in every step of the process.
Our fibres and organic materials are sourced and manufactured in Lahore, Pakistan, an area we chose due to its rich history in textiles and the ability for us to make a real impact for the local population. This has already begun – we are proud to have founded three dedicated Raza & Co micro-factories in the region to support the local economy; investing in infrastructure and providing jobs for local unemployed men and women to earn a living for their families. They are trained by senior factory workers with industry experience.
SUSTAINABLE FASHION
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t end when you click the ‘buy’ button – we’re developing a platform that will allow you to either resell your clothes to others, or to donate your pre-loved Raza & Co or other garments to charity.
Finally, as part of our commitment to the environment, 3% of all sales will be used to plant trees and offset the carbon emissions created by the manufacturing process
OUR PRODUCTS
We’re committed to delivering sustainable products. This commitment to sustainability goes beyond the garments themselves to the packaging, made from recycled polyester bags. Even the swing tickets attached to the items are sustainable: they’re created from recycled seed paper, with the ticket string fashioned from organic cotton. No plastic here!
ONE OF OUR DRESSES = 735 DAYS OF DRINKING WATER SAVED. YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECT:
We also conducted a life cycle assessment on our clothes. This means that when you buy a Raza & Co garment, you’ll be able to see the estimated amount of water and CO2 emissions you’ve saved by choosing to shop with us.
Amazing that buying one of our jersey dresses saves 735 days of drinking water when compared to buying a dress made of conventional materials! Mind-blown? We are too but we are so excited to be part of the engine for change.
So you get a beautiful item of clothing, safe in the knowledge that you’re doing your bit for the planet – with all the facts in front of you (we were serious when we said we don’t greenwash).
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR A BETTER WORLD
Raza & Co is aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, in particular:
GENDER EQUALITY
We have set up the Raza & Co Foundation to help and empower women workers in Pakistan in find meaningful employment. It also gives back to schools and health initiatives in South Asia and beyond.
AFFORDABLE CLEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE ACTION
We are fully committed to sustainability, and 100% committed to stunning, high-quality fashion. Both can co-exist at once without the need for compromise providing you the choice you have been looking for, whilst staying on-trend. Our swing tags are also made from 100% plantable seed paper. Simply plant in soil, water them and watch them grow into something beautiful.
RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
Through sustainably and ethically sourced products and recyclable packaging, we’re passionate about the circular economy and contributing to a positive environmental impact. We have pledged to donate 3% of all sales to tree planting initiatives globally.
