Welcome to our sustainability page, Ascenders!
Have you ever thought about what happens to those corporate clothes that you don’t wear? The ones that sit in the back of your closet, collecting dust, until you eventually bid adieu during a spring-cleaning session? Well, we have, and it is our goal to revolutionize this concept.
Corporate apparel should not be treated as disposable commodities, worn briefly before being tossed aside. If the pieces are of high quality, there should be every opportunity to incorporate them into your wardrobe on a regular basis. Since most of us work remotely and there is a newfound acceptance of sporting branded hoodies on virtual meetings, we actively encourage the purchase of such items not only for brand promotion but also for repeated usage.
If you need more convincing to shop sustainably:
We know: It’s jarring to see in simple terms the impact that over-buying and discarding has on the environment.
We build what others won’t, and we are sustainable where others aren’t.
We are dedicated to making a meaningful impact by reversing these statistics and fostering a healthier connection with the planet. Our ultimate objective is to ensure that all products are sourced through manufacturers that have a sustainability program or value eco-friendliness the way we do. While we are still on the journey towards this goal, here are four simple practices through which we are currently contributing:
Quality: We are focused on partnering with vendors who share our same vision: Offering the highest quality possible while sustaining our planet- one design at a time, one asset at a time.
Desirability: We only provide high quality and high demand items. We stay up to date with trends, listen to your feedback through our suggestions tab, and create merchandise you are proud to wear or carry into that meeting, on that flight, or at your desk.
ROI: The key here is proper visibility. We are striving to receive a return on the investment made towards our merchandise, which comes with each of you, our dedicated employees, who can promote our brand through wearing and using the products.
Re-use/rewear: Because we are prioritizing quality, you should be able to re-wear after multiple washes, and re-use after multiple days, weeks, months etc. preventing excessive waste and promoting healthy consumer habits.
Please remember to shop responsibly both inside and outside of Shop Ascendion. We are the pioneers for future generations having a healthy planet to co-exist on.
