NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Adore Me, the affordable and sustainable womenswear brand for every body type, was announced a Sustainability Leadership Award winner in the Business Intelligence Group 2021 Sustainability Awards program. The Sustainability Awards honor people, teams, and organizations that have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice or overall mission.
"We are honored that Adore Me is among the 2021 Sustainability Leadership Award winners," said Romain Liot, Chief Operating Officer of Adore Me. "This recognition is about much more than our sustainability journey. The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions and over 90 million tonnes of waste. We all have a responsibility to work together to create a better world."
Adore Me understands that for sustainably produced fashion to have any meaningful impact, it must be affordable and accessible to anyone. The company is committed to providing affordable, sustainably produced lingerie to women of all sizes and abilities. To advance its sustainability goals, Adore Me has integrated these strategic initiatives, among many others:
- Radical Transparency: Adore Me open-sourced its framework of tools so that other fashion brands would have the means to measure their impact across products, suppliers, and their own internal operations.
- Product Impact Evaluation: Adore Me measures the environmental impact of each garment through a custom-designed evaluation system to grade performance in four categories: Waste, Water, Fabrics, and Chemicals. Product grades are made public to ensure accountability and to identify areas for improvement.
- Supply Chain Evaluation: Adore Me measures suppliers' impact through a custom design system to evaluate performance in five categories: Energy Savings & Emissions, Water Management, Chemicals Management, Waste Management, and People & Community. Adore Me works with suppliers to develop and commercialize new sustainable materials innovations.
- Scaling Sustainability: Adore Me applies the agility of software engineering to product development to produce sustainable products at scale. The Sister Brand Incubator program test launches new brands with a sustainability, women's empowerment, or community impact mission before incorporating products into its larger brand.
"Every initiative and action advances our mission to provide quality, sustainably produced, and affordable women's apparel for every body. This is all possible because of our employees' passion and creativity driving impact in every department," said Morgan Hermand-Waiche, Adore Me's Founder and CEO.
Adore Me's path to transformation demonstrates that organizational change requires a bottom-up, employee-led cultural shift.
"We are proud to reward and recognize Adore Me for their sustainability efforts," said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group. "It was clear to our judges that their vision and strategy will continue to deliver results toward a cleaner, more sustainable world."
