Nudea marks Earth Day with second annual sustainability report
In alignment with Earth Day, Nudea, a pioneering B Corp certified brand, has released its second annual Sustainability Report, showcasing a year of substantial progress towards circularity and achieving a climate-positive status.
The report, now available for download at www.nudea.com, details the strides made in various aspects of sustainable operations and practices over the past year.
Progress through transparency and accountability
Nudea’s commitment to transparency is evident as it continues to share its environmental key performance indicators, setting a benchmark for accountability in the fashion industry.
“Sustainable business practices are crucial, not optional. Reporting our environmental KPIs keeps us on track for a more balanced future,” stated Priya Downes, CEO and Founder of Nudea. She added, “2023 was significant due to legislative changes aimed at curbing fast fashion. However, there’s much more to be done to mitigate the industry’s impact on both the planet and its people.”
Leading change in lingerie and wleepwear
Nudea is at the forefront of change in the lingerie and sleepwear sectors, areas known for limited end-of-life options. The brand has continued its commitment to source sustainable materials, enhance product longevity, and encourage recycling among consumers. 2024 is set to be a landmark year as Nudea prepares for B Corp recertification, an opportunity to reflect on its impact, learn, and adopt best practices for continued improvement.
