We have a Responsibility Towards Our People, Our Communities, & Our Planet

Sustainability

As a global brand, we have a great deal of responsibility towards our people, our communities, and our planet, and it is integral that our business values and practices support this.

While we make no claim to be perfect, we are committed to this ever-evolving journey and hold ourselves accountable to driving change through our social and environmental programs.

Preferred Fibres

MESHKI defines a preferred fibre or material as one that addresses specific sustainability concerns associated with conventional production. While preferred fibres don’t yet make up the majority of our collections, we’re committed to increasing their use.

When MESHKI works with preferred fibres, we partner with our suppliers to ensure chain of custody documentation proves the authenticity of these materials. This is a priority process to ensure our customers receive their desired fibre.

Preferred Fibre Transition Breakdown

Recycled Fibres

Polyester → Recycled Polyester
Nylon → Recycled Nylon

Recycled synthetic fibres are made from existing materials, including both pre and post consumer sources. In our Preferred Fibres program we prioritise these over new synthetics to reduce reliance on newly extracted resources.

Human-made Cellulose Fibres

Human-made cellulose fibres (MMCF), such as viscose, are regenerated fibres often from wood-based sources. Within our Preferred Fibres program we prioritise MMCFs that are considered low-risk of originating from ancient or endangered forests, as well as those produced by suppliers such as Lenzing, who use lower-impact processes compared to conventional production.

Organically Grown Fibres

Conventional Cotton → Organically Grown Cotton

Organically grown fibres are grown according to strict environmental standards, including methods that reduce the use of synthetic chemicals. Within our Preferred Fibres program, cotton is the current focus of our organically grown pillar.

What the Future Holds

We acknowledge that Corporate Social Responsibility is an ever-evolving journey. Our leaders across all aspects of the business are ever-conscious of their role in minimising our company’s environmental impact and increasing our positive impact on people. We do this by working closely with our internal Sustainability and CSR team, with external partners and by adopting innovative and emerging technologies and processes to bring about a more transparent MESHKI in the coming years.
