Selfridges has launched a new sustainability initiative Project Earth.

Project Earth wants to reinvent retail by working together with brand partners to address the materials used in products to shop sustainably, according to Selfridges. Anne Pitcher, Selfridges Group Managing Director said in a statement: “We firmly believe evolving the way we do business and supporting change in the way people shop is essential to building a more sustainable business” Sustainability sits at the heart of the business and the store. It is an ambitious new sustainability project, which asks brands to meet strict new sourcing standards.

By 2025, the most environmentally impactful materials used throughout the business will come from certified, sustainable sources. In line with this, Selfridges aims that by 2030, they are going to reduce the carbon impact of their purchased goods by 30 percent from a 2018/2019 baseline. Selfridges is also in partnership with The Woodland Trust, WWF and Zoological Society of London.

Selfridges is committed to responsible sourcing, so you have the power to make more sustainable choices. By working closely with their brand partners, they find the best sustainable products.

Shopping our Project Earth collections is just one small way customers can make a difference too.
