Nudea launches first-ever Sustainability Report
B-Corp certified, sustainable underwear brand, Nudea, has unveiled its first-ever Sustainability Report this month.
The comprehensive report provides an in-depth insight into the brand’s environmental and ethical achievements over the past year since obtaining B-Corp certified status in February 2022.
Nudea’s CEO and Founder, Priya Downes comments: “Earning our B-Corp certified status in February 2022 was a remarkable milestone so early in our journey, affirming our commitment to building a business centred around environmental consciousness and social responsibility.
As a B-Corp certified brand, we are proud to be driving transformative change within the lingerie industry. Over the past three years, we have made significant strides, spearheading sustainability projects that fill us with pride. In the midst of a turbulent 2023, the tension between business growth and sustainability has escalated, making it even more crucial for us to stay steadfast in our mission to support customers, stakeholders, and the planet.”
