Norton and Townsend

The world’s first ‘Beyond Carbon Neutral’ suit collection has been launched by leading tailors Norton and Townsend, in conjunction with sustainability consultants Shining Earth^®.

Manufactured to the highest quality by Norton and Townsend, the carbon emissions generated as a result of the manufacturing and transportation of each suit will be offset three times over (three hundred percent), hence the Beyond Carbon Neutral moniker.  Tree planting and habitat creation in the UK with the Woodland Trust accounts for 200% of the offset, and 100% has been offset via renewable energy and methane capture schemes globally through The CarbonNeutral Company.

Shining Earth^® was brought in by Norton and Townsend to carry out a comprehensive audit of all of the processes involved in bringing the Beyond Carbon Neutral suit collection to the shop floor.  The audit helped to ensure production and transportation of the suits was optimised, as well as specifically evaluating the carbon emissions.
