Beautiful fabrics, responsible choices

The choices we make today shape the world of tomorrow

Celebrating Our Wins: Key Achievements

We track our progress through data-driven insights to ensure accountability.

Taking climate action

  1. In 2026, our new distribution centre in the UAE will be completed to ensure efficient transportation to customers in Asia, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa.
  2. 91% of our Bru Team vehicles are electric and will be 100% electric by 2027. Employees are also supported with Bru bicycles.
  3. In 2025, Bru's Scope 2 emissions reached zero tCO2e, which is a 100% reduction versus our 2021 base year reading. This was achieved by self-consumption from solar panels and transitioning to a 100% renewable electricity contract (Luminus contract 2025-2026).

Responsible production and consumption

  1. We have achieved Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for a selection of bestselling qualities, representing approximately 10% of comparable products. These provide transparent, quantified environmental impact data in line with recognised methodologies. In collaboration with our mills, we continue to explore opportunities to expand coverage over time.
  2. Together with our suppliers, we are gradually moving towards OEKO-TEX® STeP certification. This is an independent certification system for sustainable textile and leather production, ensuring environmentally friendly processes and socially responsible working conditions.
  3. In 2025, Bru Textiles became Masters of Flax FibreTM certified. This certification ensures integrated crop management practices and highlights the unique expertise of European fibre producers. Certified flax of European origin, from field to fibre.

Showcasing FibreGuard's eco contract fabrics in the real world

Two ways FibreGuard's sustainable performance fabrics show up in actual client projects — from a modular housing collaboration to the fibre-level science behind our recycled polyester program.

Blockhouse Homes: Sustainable Performance Fabric for Modular Design

Blockhouse Homes' innovative approach to modern living shows how performance fabrics can advance sustainability goals while meeting sophisticated design requirements.

Their modular prefab homes showcase FibreGuard's eco-conscious materials in spaces where style and durability are equally important. The project sits alongside a second residential case study — a family renovation by NEW-ROOM DESIGN Custom Interiors — that shows the same fibre-level performance across very different briefs: one for a young family, one for sustainability-led modular design.

What the collaborations demonstrate

  1. Recycled materials, zero compromise — at Blockhouse, integration of recycled materials without compromising the luxurious feel
  2. Built for the long haul — reduced maintenance needs and longer furniture lifespan, supporting sustainable consumption
  3. Everyday-proof performance — resistance to common household stains that holds up whether the challenge is a toddler's crayons and juice spills (NEW-ROOM DESIGN) or the demands of sustainability-led modular design (Blockhouse), all while retaining good looks and handfeel.
