At Lorna Jane, we are committed to taking proactive steps towards understanding and mitigating our impact on the climate. Recognising the urgent need to address climate change, we are focusing our efforts on a comprehensive
carbon management strategy.
Where We Currently Stand
Lorna Jane HQ and warehouse have been powered by solar energy since 2015, reflecting our dedication to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting renewable energy sources. By harnessing the power of the sun, we’re able to significantly lower our reliance on non-renewable energy, contributing to a cleaner, greener future.
Lorna Jane supplying partner, has demonstrated a firm commitment to environmental sustainability and emissions reduction.

Key Objectives of Our
Climate Impact Strategy
At Lorna Jane, we are committed to taking proactive steps towards understanding and mitigating our impact on the climate. Recognising the urgent need to address climate change, we are focusing our efforts on a comprehensive carbon
management strategy.
Key Steps in Our Climate Action Plan:
1. Mapping Carbon Emissions:
Our first step is to conduct a thorough mapping of our carbon emissions Scope 1, 2, and 3. This will include direct emissions from our owned or controlled sources, indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, and other indirect emissions from our supply chain, business travel, and waste disposal.
2. Setting Reduction Targets:
Once we have a clear understanding of our carbon footprint, we will set science-based reduction targets. These targets will guide our efforts in reducing emissions in line with global climate goals. Since we are in the initial stages of this process, specific targets will be developed in the next financial year, ensuring they are both ambitious and achievable.
3. Implementing Reduction Strategies:
With targets in place, we will explore and implement various strategies to reduce our carbon emissions. These may include increasing energy efficiency, switching to renewable energy sources, optimising logistics to reduce travel emissions, and enhancing waste management practices.
4. Energy-Intensive Production:
The production process of synthetic fibres is highly energy-intensive, contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Please read here about our Climate Action and how we are tackling greenhouse gas emissions
5. Chemical Use:
The manufacturing of synthetic fibres often involves harmful chemicals that can be released into the environment, affecting soil and water quality and posing risks to human health.
By systematically mapping our emissions and setting informed reduction targets, Lorna Jane aims to contribute to global efforts against climate change, ensuring our operations are sustainable and responsible. This initiative is not only about reducing our environmental impact but also about aligning our business practices with our commitment to the planet's health and future.
