Journal #4: 1% for the Planet

Our Commitment to Mother Earth


At Randies, we’re keen for our product to be as sustainable as possible. That’s why we only use eco-fabrics that align with our ethos. But we’ve gone one step further when it comes to the environment. We’ve joined a global movement. 

Randies is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, an incredible initiative founded by Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia) and Craig Mathews (Blue Ribbon Flies). Since 2002, this intrepid duo have funded a diverse range of organisations in an effort to solve the world’s greatest problems.

From the beginning, Randies established a set of values that mirrored the attributes of a B Corp (a business that balances profit with people and the planet). We’ve sought to be responsible across every facet of our company. 

Our Lenzing™ Modal fabric is made from sustainable renewable Austrian beech trees. It’s CO2-neutral, biodegradable, and reuses 99% of its water during the production process.
