Elvis & Kresse sustainability score: 55/100

New Barns Farm workshop consumed 6,107 kWh annually with 4,502 kWh generated on-site via solar—a 94.7% reduction versus prior 30,127 kWh consumption. Air-source heat pump eliminates fossil gas. Estimated operational CO2e under 500 tonnes. No GHG Protocol-aligned formal report published.

100% of raw materials are post-industrial waste streams—fire hoses, Burberry leather off-cuts, parachute silk, coffee sacks. Domestic UK sourcing and owned workshops in Kent and Istanbul. No virgin inputs eliminates embedded Scope 3 emissions versus conventional apparel. No formal Scope 3 inventory published.

Documented 94.7% reduction in kWh when relocating from Tonge Mill to New Barns Farm—from 30,127 kWh to 1,599 kWh net grid import. Fossil gas combustion eliminated via heat pump and solar. One-time transition rather than tracked absolute reduction pathway.

28 solar panels at New Barns Farm generated 4,502 kWh of 6,107 kWh total consumption (74% coverage). Air-source heat pump eliminates fossil fuel. Istanbul workshop runs on renewable energy. On-site generation verified via SMA Sunny portal; no unbundled RECs.

17-acre farm includes 5,000 trees/shrubs, 12,000-vine regenerative vineyard with mob-grazing, and 120-metre wetland sewage treatment system. Wetland creates habitat for dragonflies, insects, amphibians, birds. All waste streams eliminate deforestation risk. No TNFD disclosure or quantified biodiversity metrics.

100% waste-stream materials with backward-design patterns matching material dimensions exactly to eliminate off-cuts. Packaging made in-house from rescued materials. Over 300 tonnes diverted from landfill since 2005. Worm-based composting processes solid waste. No product take-back scheme with verified return metrics.

Rainwater harvesting covers majority of on-site water needs. 120-metre passive wetland treats all wastewater without chemicals, creating freshwater habitat. Production uses reclaimed materials requiring no dyeing or chemical processing. No published water consumption figures (litres/year).

No SBTi commitment or net-zero target with defined timeline published. Qualitative aspiration to be regenerative and net-positive, but no specific, measurable, time-bound targets. No carbon offset reliance—reduction through business model design. B Corp recertification (152.8 score) provides accountability.

B Corp certified since 2015 (founding UK B Corp, score 152.8). Public open-book accounting claims and workshop policy. Sustainability data published via website blogs (energy, solar, wetland, farm updates). 50% profit donation contractually locked. No formal annual impact report or TCFD/CSRD disclosure.

No greenwashing complaints, ASA rulings, fines, NGO criticisms, or legal actions identified. Publicly critical of greenwashing in fashion. B Corp certification includes risk review. No trade association climate-opposing lobbying found. One point withheld for lack of proactive published lobbying audit.
