OUR ETHOS

Sustainability. It’s the word making waves in the fashion industry, but for us, it’s a way of life. 

Here at Ivysister, we’re passionate about providing a better future for our planet, creating carefully considered pieces that are low on waste and high on style.

NO WASTE

Did you know? There’s a 40% gap between what’s made and what’s sold in the apparel industry. 

According to the Ellen Macarthur Foundation every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned. These unwanted garments have a devastating impact on the environment, and we’re determined to change that.

CARBON NEUTRAL

We have been working with our partner Green Story to calculate the CO2 emissions from each stage of our supply chain. We already use eco-friendly fabrics and employ sustainable manufacturing practices to significantly reduce our CO2 emissions. But it’ll take some time to reduce our emissions all the way to net zero, there are still emissions which are unavoidable. This is where carbon offsets come in.

MATERIAL + PRODUCTION

Mindfully made in the USA, we create trending activewear and workout essentials crafted from eco-conscious materials; super-soft, skin-loving fabrics that will ensure you look and feel great. Our innovative, on-demand system means that each piece is created exclusively for you, with prints that are planet kind too. All our prints are digitally designed and never water dyed, meaning zero waste, zero water and zero guilt whenever you shop with us.

We worked with Green Story to calculate the CO2 emissions from each stage of our supply chain. This enabled us to measure our carbon footprint for each product and find the best suited carbon offset projects.

Our approach for carbon neutrality is to offset our carbon footprint along our supply chain and have a mix of Reforestation, Renewable Energy and Community projects. We worked with Green Story to handpick projects based on their type, location, and benefits. Each project supports multiple UN sustainable development goals in addition to offsetting CO2.

All our projects are rigorously verified and certified through The Gold Standard, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Climate Action Reserve. These independent verifiers make sure that the projects are working to deliver the benefits they promise.
