Sustainability Committment
OrotonGroup is committed to understanding and minimising any adverse impacts our operations, products or people have on the environment. OrotonGroup recognises that acting in a responsible and sustainable manner improves social and environmental returns and can also enhance long-term investor value.
We work towards our objectives by:
- Maintaining high standards of honest, ethical and legal business behaviours at all times.
- Complying with all applicable international and Australian laws, regulations and statutory obligations relating to environmental issues
- Engaging with our international and domestic suppliers to improve the sustainability performance of our supply chain
- Reporting to the Board from time to time on environmental performance, including, if any, instances of regulatory non-compliance and opportunities to enhance our sustainability performance
- Conserving resources used by the Company in the execution of the Company's business including the maintenance of an effective energy conservation strategy wherever possible
Ethical supply chain
All Oroton products are made by reputable manufacturing partners in factories that comply with international labour and environmental laws and by workers who work fair but not excessive hours and are provided with a safe, hygienic work environment.
As an international luxury leather based brand, Oroton’s design team uses natural hides and plant based materials in many Oroton collections. Oroton is committed to the ethical treatment of animals and works only with those internationally renowned suppliers and experts who uphold the highest standards.
All of the Ralph Lauren product that we sell and distribute is sourced by Ralph Lauren Corporation worldwide under the terms of our exclusive apparel license for Australia and New Zealand
