Sustainability

WHERE WE ARE

Scruffs is committed to responsible, transparent business practices across our workwear and safety footwear ranges. This page sets out where we are today, the standards and certifications behind our claims, and the areas we're actively working to improve.

Sustainability – Straight Talk, Real Change
We’re not here to tick boxes or jump on bandwagons. We’ve made changes that count — with the planet and the people who wear our kit in mind.

Leather-Working Group
All our footwear leather comes from Leather Working Group certified factories.
Packaging
Our paper and cardboard packaging comes from FSC certified suppliers.

Tested where it counts
We don't do fast fashion. Our kit is built with triple-stitched seams, reinforced high-wear areas and technical fabrics like Cordura, and every product goes through lab testing and wear trials before launch to check it holds up on site. We're proud to put tradies at the centre of that process — so you can trust Scruffs gear to work as hard as you do.

SEDEX
We are a Sedex member, using the platform to assess and monitor labour standards, health and safety, and business ethics across our supply chain. 

UKFT
We are also members of the UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT), engaging with the wider industry on responsible sourcing and manufacturing standards.

Carbon Footprint
We've measured our carbon footprint across our UK operations and value chain in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, independently verified to ISO 14064-3. This gives us a baseline of 351 tonnes CO2e for the year to July 2025, with transport and distribution — largely sea freight — identified as our biggest source of emissions. We're using this baseline to target reductions across energy, transport and our supply chain, and we'll report progress annually as our data coverage improves, including production-related emissions not yet captured in this first assessment.
