Ethical Shopping

Ethical Approach


When Gandys first created the initial product, the focus was on the unique range of flip flops. Since 2012 the brothers’ sole purpose was to create clothes with purpose and meaning, that is why they initially flew out to India to source ethical materials for their first flip flop design. The first material that was used was hemp which, although is an amazingly sustainable material, did not support the feet of the Gandys customers very well. They then decided to use recycled rubber that is ethically sourced. Bet your feet never felt so good!

 

At Gandys, we believe that what you wear matters and ever since the beginning, we’ve always put sustainability and ethical sourcing at the forefront of what we do. We’ve already achieved so much in making the world a better place: From a section of our profits going towards our Orphans For Orphans initiative, to the kids campus’ we’ve built across the world. However, we want to show this throughout all platforms of the brand, especially in the supply chain of our products.

 

As a travel inspired clothing brand, we are aware that everything we do has an impact on the world and we’re on a continuous journey to improve the way we work.


REDUCE

SHIP NOT AIR - We aim to manufacture our products as close as possible to the fabric source to reduce garment carbon footprint.

RECYCLE

  • POLYBAG – The plastic bags used to protect our products from factory to customer are fully recyclable and the packaging we use to send out products are 100% Biodegradable.
  • HANGTAG – The card we use on our hangtag can be fully recycled. We have also made a conscious decision to have cotton string instead of plastic string to attach the hangtag to our products.
  • EXCESS STOCK - Any excess stock we may have is sent to our Kids Campuses or a local charity.

REPAIR

  • QUALITY THAT LASTS - When we are developing products, we would like to think it would stand the test of time.
  • REPAIR - Where possible, we aim to repair goods rather than sending them to landfill, and encourage our customers to do the same.

We are not finished yet... it's a long road ahead and there is so much more we can do!
