Through textile innovation, Thomas Burberry elevated outerwear performance and enhanced its ability to protect explorers from the elements. As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible craftsmanship, we have set targets to incorporate certified and responsibly sourced key raw materials into our products, embed circular business models and eliminate plastic from our packaging.

In FY 2025/26, 86% of key raw materials in our products were certified or responsibly sourced (as defined in our Sustainable Raw Materials Portfolio). We maintained our performance across leather, viscose and down and feather with 100% of these materials being certified or responsibly sourced. Certified wool increased from 58% in FY 2024/25 to 76% in FY 2025/26. As part of our Autumn 2025 collection, we introduced our first scarf crafted from 100% British wool, traceable to individual farms, commemorating 125 years of partnership with family-run Scottish mill Johnstons of Elgin. The scarf was made on traditional dobby looms using wool from Bluefaced Leicester sheep.
During the year, we continued to evolve ourresponsiblesourcing criteria to ensure they align with our ambitions and industry best practice. Reflectingthe benefitsof regenerative farming practices on climate, soil heath, biodiversity, animal welfare, socialequity andfarmer livelihoods, this year we expanded our Sustainable Raw Materials Portfolio toencompassregenerative standards including Regenagri, Nativa Regen and ZQ+.
We partner with internal teams and with supply chain partners to increase the use of moreresponsiblysourced materials within our products. In FY 2025/26, we delivered training to colleaguesworking closelywith these fibres, including our Product Development, Sourcing, Design, Raw Materials andMerchandisingteams, to enhance their understanding of the benefits of regenerative materials andassociated positiveenvironmental impacts.
As part of our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the raw materials we source,werecognise that meaningful progress can only be achieved through strong industry collaboration.
