IMPACT & STANDARDS
Shackleton is a business that’s working hard to make the right choices.
Our overall product philosophy is to build high quality, durable products that give many years of service.
We focus on achieving specific measurable improvements to minimise and compensate for any potential negative impact caused by our business.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
68% of all Shackleton outerwear styles are made from recycled fabrics.
We ship your orders in FSC certified recycled cardboard packaging with no plastic.
We do not use fur.
We reduce our carbon footprint caused from freight miles by primarily manufacturing our products closer to our distribution centre. Approximately 65% of our products are manufactured in the UK and Europe.
The Shackleton Medal for the Protection of the Polar Regions is judged and awarded annually. The prize is a £10,000 bursary to further the winner’s work.
SUPPLY CHAIN STANDARDS
The most effective way to guarantee our sustainable impact is to work with suppliers who are certified by credible governing bodies.

HUMANITARIAN STANDARDS

Our factories hold a range of internationally recognised standards and certifications, with our key manufacturing partner in Asia holding a Gold Standard WRAP certification. WRAP is an audit guide that sets out standards for human resource, health and safety, environmental and legal compliance.
