ZQRX is a new collaborative action platform for people, businesses and organisations that adapt, take action, never stop learning and keep going until they get it right.

ZQRX wool is essentially a recipe for how we might produce and consume things in the future where products will not only change our lives for the better, but they will also change our entire world for the better by giving a little more than they take.

We recognise the challenges that lie ahead of us, and the need to be part of a wider global regenerative, circular economy, and have embarked on a journey to map our social and environmental impacts, constructing a framework to guide us as we look to continually do better business for our customers and for the planet. In our framework plan, we have laid out our high-level goals for the next 3 years, and will set specific targets under three pillars, People, Planet and Product. We will be updating customers on our progress and reviewing our achievements, goals and targets on a regular basis. We know we aren’t perfect, (no brand is) but we are determined to always strive to do better, and to keep improving year after year in every area of our business. We are fully committed to sharing our journey with our customers, with transparency and honesty. R E A L FA RME R
