SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY
We aim to operate responsibly, with standards that reflect our values and applicable laws.
- Durability and longevity: we prioritise quality so products are built to last.
- Respect for people: we work to uphold ethical and lawful labour practices in our supply chain.
- Continuous improvement: we actively review and improve decisions around materials, packaging, and shipping impact.
We work to ensure manufacturing aligns with lawful and ethical standards.
- No forced labour: we do not knowingly work with suppliers that use forced labour.
- No child labour: we do not knowingly work with suppliers that employ children in violation of law.
- Safe working conditions: we expect safe workplaces and appropriate safety procedures.
- Fair treatment: we expect non-discrimination and lawful wage practices consistent with local requirements.
If you have a concern about any product or supplier practice, contact us at info@beinggurkha.com.
Longevity reduces waste. We focus on construction, finishing, and care guidance so pieces can be worn longer.
- Clear care instructions on product pages and garment labels
- Quality control checks focused on stitching, trims, and finishing
- Fit and material notes to help customers choose correctly and reduce unnecessary returns
At the moment, not all packaging materials we use are recycled or biodegradable. We are in the process of adapting to improved packaging materials, and that effort is an important part of our long-term responsibility.
As a small company, this transition happens in stages while we test durability, availability, and performance during shipping. Our ultimate goal is to move toward packaging that is recycled and biodegradable wherever feasible, while keeping products protected in transit.
Recycling and composting rules vary by region — always check local guidelines.
Shipping and logistics contribute to emissions. We work to reduce avoidable impact through practical operational choices.
- Fewer re-shipments: accuracy checks help reduce avoidable replacements.
- Consolidation: where possible, reducing split shipments and unnecessary parcels.
- Right-sized packaging: minimising volume where practical while protecting items.
We do not claim “carbon neutral” unless it is supported by documented measurement and clearly defined coverage.
We aim to communicate responsibly and avoid vague claims.
- We describe what is currently in place and what is actively being improved.
- We avoid statements that cannot be verified.
- We provide customer support for questions related to responsibility and sourcing.
Not yet. At the moment, not all packaging materials we use are recycled or biodegradable. We are adapting in stages because we need packaging that protects products reliably in transit.
Our ultimate goal is to transition toward packaging that is recycled and biodegradable wherever feasible, and to keep reducing unnecessary materials over time.
We focus on reducing impact through practical operations and responsible decision-making. We do not present a “carbon neutral” claim unless it is supported by documented measurement and clearly defined coverage.
We work to uphold lawful and ethical standards, including expectations around safe conditions, prohibition of forced labour and child labour, and fair treatment consistent with local laws.
Longer-lasting garments reduce replacement cycles and waste. We focus on construction and care guidance so pieces can be worn longer.
