Impact Report

The fashion industry has been tarnished in recent years. Pressured to clean up its act by various environmental and social pressures, treen exists to be the change it wishes to see in the industry. Good fashion exists. Let us show you.

As a purpose-led business from inception, this Impact Report highlights our existing commitments that we are dedicated to upholding.

This Impact Report will keep us accountable to our ambitions as we continue to challenge ourselves in how we can most positively impact people and the planet. 

Sustainability has to be a way of life to be a way of business. If you want creativity, take a zero off your budget. If you want sustainability, take off two. Looking at the world through a sustainability lens not only helps us future-proof our supply chain, it also fuels innovation and drives brand growth. At treen, we want to future-proof our supply chain, fuel innovation and propel forward as a leader in the sustainable fashion industry.
