    We had a great local Town Hall in DC 4 Yesterday, and on Teams for remote colleagues. Sarah, Mark, Carlos and I updated the site not only on the final 2024 financial performance, but also other key initiatives. This included areas such as Health & Safety, Community Days, Sustainability and Maternity/Paternity days. We also shared information on the DTC journey (>100% growth in 2024) and highlighted over $1.6m of our sales in 2024 came from sets assembled in DC4! We also shared updates on New Products and Brand Activation with employees and with customers and consumers. We also recognised Long Service, with 11 employees in 2024 with a combined 160 years’ service recognised for 10, 15, 20 and 25 year milestones).

    We then discussed the 2025 priorities, including, of course, financial performance measures and strategic priorities, highlighting the opportunities and threats we already are seeing. We also highlighted we want to see more opportunities for employees to make an impact in 2025, and more holding of Community and Brand Activation days to come, with other initiatives too. We also recognised three more employees already in 2025 with a combined service of 60 years!

    We finished with the message, well received and supported by the NA team, that 2025 will not be easy, but that together we all have the tools and opportunities to deliver strong progress towards our Strategic Plan.

      I’m feeling inspired just by reading your summary Steve! Sounds like it was a really informative session and I’m sure everyone went away with a clear idea of what has been achieved and what needs to be done in 2025. …

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
