Sustainability Practices

Hackett only uses a tiny proportion of organic materials such as organic cotton or recycled materials such as recycled polyester and regenerated nylon.

Only very few of its collections are dedicated to sustainable fashion. Most of the fabrics it uses are either natural without relevant certifications, such as regular cotton or linen, or synthetic petroleum-based fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and more.

Hackett also uses a small proportion of semi-synthetic fibers or regenerated cellulosic fabrics such as Tencel lyocell, modal, acetate, and viscose.

Tencel is an eco-friendly fiber made with wood pulp from certified sustainable forests. But only a tiny proportion of the materials used by Hackett are environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Hackett doesn't publish a list of its manufacturers or processing facilities on its corporate website. It doesn't disclose how it chooses its network of suppliers.

The British clothing retailer doesn't show any labor certification standard that would ensure good working conditions, decent living wages, health, safety, and other crucial rights for workers in its supply chain.

Hackett doesn't have a code of conduct that applies to all its suppliers and subcontractors based on the regulations set by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

Hackett doesn't reveal if it conducts any informal visits or third-party audits with or without notice to improve the working conditions in its factories.

Hackett doesn't use exotic animal skin, hair, fur, or angora. But it uses leather, wool, and down feathers to manufacture many of its clothing pieces.

These animal-derived materials are cruel and unethical. They also harm the environment by producing greenhouse gases and waste. More sustainable alternatives exist.

Sustainability Goals

Hackett doesn't measure its water usage, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste across the supply chain. It doesn't have any sustainability goals, science-based targets, or timelines to improve in the future.
