Alpkit
Ethical action
While Andy Mannix , UKEF ’ s Export Finance Manager , added : “ The accessibility , flexibility , and certainty of our GEF is a game-changer for companies like Alpkit . We have recently more than doubled the amount that HSBC can automatically administer to an exporter through its facilities to £ 5 million , and I am delighted our close partnership has helped make this deal happen .”
Another aspect that sets Alpkit apart from its competitors is the brand ’ s commitment to sustainability . For these green efforts , Alpkit was awarded the Sustainability Entrepreneur of the Year for 2021 prize and came in as Highly Commended at edie ’ s 2022 Sustainability Awards .
At the core of the company ’ s green center are six principles of hope : reduce , reuse , repair , recycle ; respect our environment ; treat animals humanely ; work with people we believe in ; build a better business ; and give back .
Through these ethical action points , Alpkit makes sure that it minimizes consumption while moving towards a circular economy , creates high performance products while also lowering greenhouse gas emissions , protects animals and human rights , and improves the lives of its employees and communities alike .
As mentioned previously , Alpkit was created by ordinary people in order to make ordinary products that allow people to live extraordinary lives – it just so happens that those products do not cost the Earth , and that notably sets the brand apart in our modern world of fast fashion and style over substance . ■
