Sustainability Practices

Morrisons uses a tiny proportion of organic materials such as organic cotton or recycled materials such as recycled polyester.

Most of the fabrics it uses are either natural without relevant certifications, such as regular cotton or linen, or synthetic petroleum-based fibers such as polyester, nylon, and more.

Morrisons also uses a little amount of semi-synthetic fibers or regenerated cellulosic fabrics such as modal, acetate, and viscose.

Morrisons doesn't publish a list of all its manufacturers and processing facilities on its corporate website. It doesn't disclose how it chooses its network of suppliers.

The 2022 Fashion Transparency Index gave Morrisons a score of only 27% based on how much the company discloses about its social and environmental policies, practices, and impacts.

The British clothing retailer has some labor certification standards that ensure good working conditions, health, safety, and other important rights for workers in its supply chain.

Morrisons has a code of conduct that applies to all its suppliers and subcontractors based on the regulations set by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

Morrisons assesses compliance with its Code of Conduct by third-party audits with or without notice. It's committed to ensuring that everyone who helps to make its products is treated with dignity and respect in safe and fair workplaces.

Morrisons doesn't use exotic animal skin, hair, fur, or angora. But it uses leather, wool, and down feathers to manufacture many of its clothing pieces.

These animal-derived materials are cruel and unethical. They also harm the environment by producing greenhouse gases and waste. More sustainable alternatives exist.

Sustainability Goals

Morrisons has committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. It will make a 50% cut in food waste by 2030 and use 50% less plastic packaging in its products by 2025.

Morrisons plans to source 100% of cotton in its own-brand clothing from Better Cotton by 2025. It will also have zero deforestation in forest risk supply chain areas by 2025.

Morrisons aims to grow its own brand plant-based product sales by 300% by 2025. And 65% of its own-brand products will be healthy by 2025.
