Solar energy

1.1MW

Power from our
own roofs.

Rooftop solar provides renewable power for our facilities and reduces our reliance on conventional electricity.

986,448kWh of solar power a year
719Tonnes of CO2 saved a year
2×Capacity planned by 2028

Energy and buildings

Built to use
less energy.

Our buildings and deliveries are planned to use less power and fuel.

A daylit production hall with a mezzanine and high windows
Daylight and fresh air

Our buildings make use of natural light and airflow across the working floors.

Leather stored on tall racks in the material store
Bulk deliveries

Raw materials arrive in bulk, which cuts transport trips. A transition to electric vehicles is planned.

Recycling and water

We reuse water

Water treated and reused.

Rainwater is harvested on site, and treated water from our sewage treatment plant is reused for suitable facility and landscaping needs.
