We are committed to the journey
Our Sustainability work focuses on:
Product
Tarocash is committed to further improving traceability over our supply chain.
Tarocash’s high-quality products are produced in numerous countries across the world and we are committed to monitor all traceability of the sources.
Tarocash has developed considerable long-term relationships with our valued suppliers over many years and are proud of the working relationships we share with the factories that manufacture our quality garments.
The majority of our products are produced in China, but we do also source from other countries including Bangladesh and Cambodia.
Through close monitoring we have traced:
- 100% of our garment factories.
- Over 99% of our fabric mills; and
- Over 60% of our linen farms (in Europe).
We partner with Better Cotton to improve cotton farming globally. Better Cotton's mission is to help cotton communities survive and thrive, whilst protecting and restoring the environment.
People
Tarocash is committed to providing a fair, safe and healthy work environment for our Business team and the people in our Supply Chain.
We are committed to achieving an ethical, legal, and responsible approach to the business, and ensuring effective processes and controls are in place to safeguard against Modern Slavery within our business operations and supply chain.
We uphold our ethical standards within our supply chain, by regularly monitoring our suppliers with ethical audits and unannounced inspections. These procedures include monitoring our suppliers to ensure garment workers are paid a minimum of the legal wage requirement and providing a grievance hotline service which factory workers can access to ensure there is a simple and easy way to report concerns or issues.
We do not accept any form of forced or child labour in our supply chain. We will continue to work with suppliers to achieve this goal.
Community
Tarocash is committed to giving back to our community through partnering with key organisations.
Tarocash is proud to look smart for a smart cause in our official partnership with Make-A-Wish.
Make-A-Wish® Australia works in partnership with sick children, their families, and medical teams to deliver unforgettable wish experiences. Tarocash creates and sells exclusive Make-A-Wish items donating all proceeds to the charity. Find out more
Tarocash also donate any unsold garments to charities such as Thread Together and The Red Cross to ensure they get to people in need. This also reduces the amount of textile waste from the business, and anything that is left over, is sent to UPPAREL to recycle or repurpose, preventing it from going to landfill.
We know that Modern Slavery is a major global problem affecting many industries, particularly the apparel industry. That is why we have partnered with Better Cotton and Be Slavery Free to work together towards eliminating slavery from our supply chain.
Planet
Tarocash is committed to monitor and reduce our environmental footprint.
Tarocash is aware of the impact the apparel industry has on our planet and we are committed to making a positive change.
Our environmental strategy is a commitment to 4 long term goals which aim to address the biggest environmental challenges across our supply chain, from the fields where our cotton is grown to how garments are disposed of.
- Using more Sustainable Materials
- Environmental Footprint
- Reduce Waste
- Developing a Circular Economy
We know that our environmental journey will take time, but we are working towards developing a strategy for each goal.
Our Online packaging is made from 100% recycled materials. We have phased out plastic bags and all store bags are now sustainably sourced paper.
We donate unsold garments to charities such as Thread Together and The Red Cross to ensure they get to people in need. Any textile waste that remains, we send to UPPAREL to recycle or repurpose, preventing it from going to landfill.
Upparel
Tackling textile waste head-on.
Tarocash has teamed up with UPPAREL to help keep textiles out of the bin. Together we can help minimise the impact our unwanted clothing has on landfill and create a more sustainable future. Let’s keep it out of the bin!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Do you have 10kg of unwanted clothing in your wardrobe or packed away. For just $25 UPPAREL will collect your bundle and as a thanks Tarocash will offer you $35 off all orders over $100.
WHAT'S THE POINT?
Over 800,000,000 items are thrown away every year. On average, Australians purchase 27kg of new textiles each year and then discard around 23kg into landfill — annually.
For every 1kg of textiles you divert from landfill, you’ll be preventing 3-4kg of greenhouse gases from polluting the atmosphere. UPPAREL make it easy and take the hassle out of determining whether to reuse, upcycle or recycle your textiles.
