A network of over 1,000 retailers worldwide
Once our pieces are crafted in our partner workshops, they reach your hands through our network of 1,000 retailers and our e-commerce site.
Sustainable packaging
As part of our responsible purchasing policy, all our paper bags and till receipts are now supplied exclusively by FSC®-certified partners: a label issued by the Forest Stewardship Council, an international non-profit organisation founded in 1993 and dedicated to promoting responsible forest management worldwide.We are also registered with CITEO (REP number: FR247396_01LIIT) for the collection and processing of all our packaging, as provided for under the new AGEC law (Anti-Waste and Circular Economy, see box below).
Low-carbon delivery
To limit the number of kilometres our items travel to reach you, parcels are systematically shipped by the retailer closest to the customer. In France, our parcels are delivered by carriers such as La Poste, DHL or DPD, recognised for their ambitious carbon neutrality initiatives.
Thanks to their electric vehicles and carbon offset commitments, we achieved carbon neutrality for the majority of LANCASTER parcels sent in 2021.
Ethics
The inclusion of an ethics charter in all our distribution contracts helps ensure respect for people’s rights and working conditions throughout our entire value chain.
Towards a circular model
Since 1 January 2022, the anti-waste law for a circular economy (AGEC) has prohibited the destruction of non-food products (food products having already been subject to this for several years). This applies to all fashion items! This measure, a world first, is intended to support the transition from a linear economic model of “make, consume, discard” to a circular model.
For our part, we are putting in place every necessary solution to avoid unsold stock, including private sales for our dear team!
A four-pillar approach
Lancaster is committed to responsible fashion through four essential pillars: materials sourced ethically, considered production, conscious fashion, and distribution with sustainable partners. View the full project report
