Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Anglo Design, we are dedicated to integrating sustainable practices across all areas of our business, helping to combat climate change and preserve the environment for future generations.
We offer a diverse range of fashion accessories made from responsibly sourced materials. Our product portfolio includes recycled and biodegradable sunglasses, soft accessories crafted with recycled and OEKO-TEX® certified yarns, and bags and belts made using environmentally friendly, water-based PU. We also provide responsibly sourced LWG-certified leathers for gloves, bags, and belts. Anglo Design and our manufacturing partners participate in the Higg Index — a globally recognized self-assessment tool that measures environmental and social sustainability across the supply chain.
We are actively working to reduce plastic use in our packaging — both for samples and production — by incorporating recycled and biodegradable alternatives wherever possible. Within our offices, we practice waste recycling and maintain a growing collection of plants to help purify the air and support a healthier work environment. The vast majority of our team commute via public transport, cycle, or walk — and we're encouraging the remaining few to follow suit.
To further reduce our environmental footprint, we offset carbon emissions through verified climate action projects, including tree planting initiatives in both the Great Rift Valley in Kenya and in the UK.
Ethical Trading
At Anglo Design, we are committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and ethically responsible working environment across our operations in both the UK and China. We take pride in our culturally diverse team and the strong representation of women in leadership roles throughout the business.
Our dedicated compliance teams in the UK and China conduct regular monitoring and audits of our manufacturing partners to ensure strict adherence to the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code. The teams actively participate in industry workshops and client meetings to remain aligned with evolving ethical requirements, ensuring timely and effective communication throughout our supply chain. We collaborate with leading ethical audit and compliance partners, including Bureau Veritas (BV), Intertek (ITS), SGS, and our clients’ own auditing bodies.
Our quality assurance teams, based in both the UK and China, oversee product quality from development through to final production. Every style undergoes risk assessment and fit reviews at critical stages of the production process, with routine spot checks and final inspections conducted to maintain the highest standards of product quality and service. All products are tested through accredited laboratories such as ITS, BV, SGS, and QIMA, and we ensure our manufacturing partners remain informed of the latest testing protocols and regulatory requirements. All factories comply with REACH legislation and California Prop 65.
We maintain long-standing partnerships with our supply chain, enabling us to deliver high-quality products within shortened lead times. Our experienced merchandising teams work in close collaboration with our factories to ensure efficient order management and on-time delivery in line with critical path milestones.
