1% for the planet
Through our four brands, Beechfield® Original Headwear, BagBase®, Westford Mill® and Quadra®, we’ve also pledged 1% of annual sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment through our membership to 1% for the Planet. Below you can learn more about some of the charities and projects that our membership helps to support.
CARBON LITERACY
As part of our 1% for the Planet® membership we are long-term supporters of the Carbon Literacy Project and an accredited Carbon Literate Organisation. The Carbon Literacy Project’s aim is to advance the education in conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment. Carbon Literacy means: “An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis."

Better Cotton
We Beechfield Brands are committed to improving cotton farming practices globally with Better Cotton.
Better Cotton is sourced via a chain of custody model called mass balance. This means that Better Cotton is not physically traceable to end products, however, Better Cotton Farmers benefit from the demand for Better Cotton in equivalent volumes to those we ‘source.’
We are committed to sourcing 90% of our cotton as Better Cotton, recycled cotton, organic cotton and Fairtrade cotton.
