Uniforms and corporate clothing specialist Mi Hub has revealed its latest steps to ensure it achieves high environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.
The company, whose brands include Alexandra, Yaffy, Affinity and Dimensions, has formed Mi ESG Hub, a group of colleagues from all areas of the business including human resources, supply chain, marketing, facilities, commercial and logistics.
The dedicated project team is working to achieve the company’s ESG targets and hold Mi Hub accountable to maintain, achieve and launch all the initiatives against the ESG programme.
This will be achieved by developing relationships, skills and knowledge with internal staff and external suppliers and by building a sustainable supply base, through their programmes.
With offices in the UK, mainland Europe, the USA and Asia, Mi Hub has an evolving five-year sustainability strategy in place called “Create”. As part of this strategy, it has set sustainability targets and aligned its goals with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In particular, these targets include: no poverty, good health and wellbeing, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.
The SDGs initiatives form a shared global agenda to tackle the world’s biggest global challenges on environmental improvement, equality and social empowerment.
Create forms one of the four pillars of Mi Hub’s ESG programme which focuses on achieving carbon net zero, delivering phase two of its Create strategy, adopting a “Great Place to Work” philosophy and developing a best-practice approach to ESG governance.
Hayley Brooks, CEO of Mi Hub, said: “We are proud of our ESG ambitions and are continuously investing in this area. We are committed to investigating and implementing initiatives that positively impact our people and planet wherever possible.
“Mi Hub is proud to champion ESG on every level, whether that be externally in collaboration with our clients, where we share initiatives and work together towards our goals for a sustainable future, or internally through operations, supply chain and our ESG group.
“The ESG group is actioning positive change and working towards the goals to achieve carbon net zero, evolve our sustainability strategy, create a great place to work and drive our governance approach.”
