Our Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability forms an integral part of our BOLTS strategy. To support BOLTS, our Inspired Living Framework reflects a unified Group approach, structured around three key objectives: Connects our people, Shares our commitment, and Restores our environment, with clearly defined sustainability focus areas that guide our actions and responds to TFG’s material sustainability impacts.
While the framework sets a common direction, we acknowledge that each territory operates within a distinct context, shaped by local regulations, stakeholder expectations, and environmental realities. As a result, priority areas within the objectives may vary, allowing each territory to focus on what is most material and impactful within their operating environment. This flexible yet aligned approach enables us to drive progress that is both globally coherent and locally responsive.
The Inspired Living Framework serves as a strategic anchor, enabling integrated planning, performance tracking, and transparent reporting across the Group. It underpins our ambition to embed sustainability in all parts of the business while empowering regional teams to lead with purpose.
Our Framework prioritises four UN SDGs that we contribute to meaningfully.
Fashion that connects us to our people and communities
We are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment where our people can grow, thrive, and contribute meaningfully.
We take a clear stand on human rights, equity, and inclusion across our business and value chain, investing in employee well-being, safe working environments and building diverse teams.
Our transformation journey is reflected in our sustained Level 2 B-BBEE status, targeted skills development, and youth employment initiatives such as the Youth Employment Services (YES) programme. Our enterprise and supplier development goals aim to support a number of aligned small, medium and micro enterprises to scale further.
TFG has set ambitious 2030 community investment targets focused on critical national priorities - job creation, youth skills development, access to clean water, support for small businesses, and circularity. These are not just corporate goals, they are imperatives for the future of our country and matter deeply to our customers.
Fashion that shares our commitment to ethical sourcing
We are committed to building ethical, agile, and inclusive supply chains that protect people, reduce risk, and strengthen local economies.
Our approach centres on transparency, traceability, responsible purchasing practices and responsible sourcing. We have mapped100% of tier 1 suppliers across all territories and we are actively driving efforts to improve visibility across all tiers. We uphold social and ethical compliance across our supply chain through regular audits, supplier engagement, and alignment with international frameworks where relevant.
In South Africa, our focus is on building a robust local manufacturing base capable of responding swiftly to changing consumer demands. This includes supporting enterprise development, broadening our supplier base, and advancing our B-BBEE objectives.
Our global operations are committed to addressing the risks of modern slavery, supporting gender equity, and fostering long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers.
Fashion that restores our relationship with the environment
We are committed to restoring our relationship with the environment by driving actions that support sustainable practices and the transition to a more resilient, low-impact future.
We are committed to responsible product stewardship across the entire lifecycle of our products, from design and manufacturing to sale and end-of-life disposal. We promote circularity through innovative design, recycling initiatives, and reducing waste and packaging.
We are advancing our climate strategy through a structured, science-informed approach, integrating climate considerations into our strategy, risk management, and governance frameworks. Our efforts include investments in renewable energy and ongoing improvements in energy and water efficiency across our operations.
Through these actions, we aim to minimise our environmental footprint, support a just transition to a low-carbon economy, and contribute to the long-term health and resilience of the planet.
