Reporting Period: Financial Year End February 2026

This Corporate Responsibility Report outlines Brora's approach to responsible business across Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters throughout the period from March 2025 to February 2026

The report describes our policies, governance, priorities and progress towards building a more sustainable business while recognising that responsible sourcing, product quality and long-term stewardship remain central to our brand.

Statement

At Brora, we believe that beautiful clothing should be made with respect—for the people who produce it, the natural resources from which it is made and the customers who choose to invest in quality garments. Our brand is not about fast fashion.

During 2025 we continued strengthening our responsible sourcing programmes, improving supply chain transparency and embedding sustainability into our buying decisions. While we recognise that significant challenges remain across the global fashion industry, we remain committed to continuous improvement through collaboration with suppliers, customers and industry partners.

Our priorities remain focused on producing timeless products designed to last, supporting responsible fibre sourcing and operating our business with integrity.

Responsible sourcing remains fundamental to Brora's purchasing decisions.

Throughout 2025, the mix of organic cotton and better cotton is 45% organic cotton, 15% BCI cotton and 45% non-certified cotton. 

By 2030 we aim to achieve a mix of 80% certified cotton and 20% non-certified cotton.
