Celebrating Earth Month

April is Earth Month, and we're celebrating the planet in a big way. At Ardene, we take our sustainability commitment to heart - working with recycled materials, introducing new policies and always learning more, so this year we're excited to launch a few firsts. We're introducing our first-ever sustainability challenge for all our team members to participate in, and we've partnered with One Tree Planted for the first time to help support their reforestation initiatives. We'll also be publishing our first-ever Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) report later this month, documenting our entire sustainability journey as well as our achievements from last year. We know we still have a lot to learn on our sustainability journey, but we're eager to keep pushing the bar and doing more, because that's how we get better.

Month-Long Sustainability Challenge

We're so excited to launch Ardene's first-ever month-long sustainability challenge - a month-long event for our head office, store and distribution center employees to participate in. Each week we'll have a different theme with a variety of sustainable practices for everyone to do at home, as well as fun group activities for our head office team members to join. By combining sustainable resources and goals with easy ways to integrate them into our daily lives, we're hoping to show that being more sustainable doesn't have to be overwhelming. By simply taking a look at our daily habits, we can make little adjustments that have a big impact.

One Tree Planted

This year, we're also proud to have partnered with One Tree Planted, an international organization dedicated to restoring forests, creating habitats for biodiversity, and making a positive social impact around the world. For every dollar donated they will plant 1 tree, so for the entire month of April, we're donating the net proceeds of all Ardene Foundation items sold to One Tree Planted. From April 20th-24th, we'll also be inviting customers to make donations or round up their purchases in stores to help raise money to plant as many trees as possible. We strongly believe in the importance of their reforestation initiatives, and we're proud to be able to support their amazing work.

Earth Month ignites us all to do more for the planet, but we're committed to doing more every day of the year. By launching these first-time initiatives, we hope to inspire everyone to do more in their everyday lives, because all change, big or small, makes a difference.
