BURBERRY BEYOND
WE COMMIT TO CONTINUALLY EVOLVE, INNOVATE AND DEFY CONVENTION TO BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
As a brand built on the desire to explore nature and the great outdoors, our new strategy, Burberry Beyond, is our commitment to be a force for good through how we design, source, create and advocate.
We are determined to be a better company, to create a more sustainable future for luxury, and to have a positive impact on climate, nature and people.
This compels us to draw on our creative spirit, to evolve, innovate and, at times, defy convention.
It also requires us to enhance our metrics to track, guide and report on progress.
LEVERS FOR ACTION
There are four main levers for action that will underpin our progress
DESIGN
We will harness our expertise in design, using the freedom creativity brings to usher in a new generation of luxury that not only does no harm, but seeks to have a positive impact.
SOURCE
We will ensure the materials we source are aligned to our ambitions, equipping and empowering our supply chain to achieve meaningful change at scale.
CREATE
As we create, from the manufacturing of garments through to putting on shows, we will carry an ethos of innovation that continues to push boundaries.
ADVOCATE
We will use our voice to call for strengthened policies, standards and behaviour change to drive positive social and environmental impacts.
