Sustainability
At ALEWK.CLUB, we believe that every choice matters. With the ALEWK Sustainability Scorecard (ASSC) as our guiding framework, we’re not just curating exceptional products that look great but also championing a vision of sustainability and fairness. By focusing on transparency, ethical practices, eco-friendly materials, and community advocacy, we empower our customers to make informed and conscious decisions. The ASSC helps us ensure every product meets the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility, while also inspiring positive change. Through these efforts, we’re fostering stronger communities, supporting the planet, and reimagining retail for a brighter, fairer future. Join us as we work together to create a lasting, meaningful impact—one thoughtfully chosen product at a time.
1. TRANSPARENCY
At ALEWK.CLUB, Transparency is about being upfront with what goes on behind the scenes—how products are made, where materials come from, and the actual impact they have on the planet.
Key Points:
Trusted Certifications: Products should feature credible certifications, like Fair Trade, GOTS, or B-Corp, ensuring their claims are authentic and trustworthy.
Accessible Information: Details about materials and processes should be readily available for everyone to see and understand.
2. MATERIALS
What goes into a product matters. That’s why we prioritise materials that are kind to the planet—eco-friendly, renewable, and responsibly sourced.
Key Points:
Sustainable Choices: Organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled polyester take precedence over wasteful, harmful materials.
Eco-Friendly Processing: Production methods should conserve water, use non-toxic dyes, and minimise waste at every stage.
3. FAIR TRADE AND ETHICAL PRACTICES
Behind every product are real people, and we’re committed to ensuring they’re treated fairly. This means safe working conditions, fair pay, and ethical practices across the supply chain.
Key Points:
Fair Wages: Workers should earn a living wage—simple as that.
Safe Conditions: No child labour or unsafe factory practices are tolerated.
Regular Audits: Brands should undergo regular assessments to ensure they remain accountable.
4. CARBON FOOTPRINT AND WASTE REDUCTION
The planet can’t wait, so we prioritise brands and products that actively reduce emissions and waste.
Key Points:
Lower Emissions: We support brands that keep production local or offset their carbon footprint.
Waste Less: Recycled materials, biodegradable packaging, and zero-waste production processes are non-negotiable.
5. COMMUNITY IMPACT AND ADVOCACY
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment; it’s about people too. We champion brands that reinvest in communities and advocate for global causes.
Key Points:
Local Support: Supporting local artisans and reinvesting profits into communities are key factors in our evaluations.
Big Picture Advocacy: Collaborations with organisations like 1% for the Planet show a commitment to tackling social and environmental challenges on a larger scale.
EMPOWERING CONSCIOUS CHOICES
The ALEWK Sustainability Scorecard (ASSC) helps us curate products that truly make a difference. By focusing on these five pillars, we ensure every item in our collection meets the highest standards of responsibility and quality. Together, we’re inspiring conscious consumerism, supporting communities, and taking meaningful steps towards a better, fairer world.
