IMPACT on BIODIVERSITY

We believe in protecting our enviroment by sourcing materials like organic cottonand ResponsibleWool. We thoughtfully consider the impacts that growing fibers has on both wild and cultivated landscapes-and aim to help protect them from unsafe chemicals. We encourage healthy soil andaim to improve animal welfare and help maintain healthy natural spaces.

MATERIAL MATTERS
We continually explore associations that support our key sustainability pillars. The Responsible Wool Standard , the Leather Working Group, and CanopyStyle are all helping us ensure that wool, leather and cellulosic fabrics such as viscose/rayon, lyocell, and modal meet our standards.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Banana Republic has made a commitment to source in-conversion and organic cotton from a co-op of 1,500 farmers located in India's Madhya Pradesh regions of Alirajpur, Kundanpur and Udaigarh. As part of this initiative, we are working with Arvind Limited to fund the training of farmers in converting to organic practices.
WORLD WILDLIFE FUND
WWF helps conserve wildlife, protect amazing places, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature. BR allows customers to donate their reward points to WWF as part of our ongoing partnership.
