Sustainability & Carbon Neutral
We believe that M.M Linen is the very, ‘fabric of beautiful living.’ Each season, we thoughtfully design and carefully curate a fashionable collection of quality products to share with our customers.
We are very fortunate to be based in New Zealand where we have a holistic approach to our business, encompassing the planet, people and profit.
As a newly certified B Corp in the home textiles industry, we are part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact for a movement towards an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.
Becoming B Corp certified was no small feat. Over the course of a year, M.M Linen undertook a rigorous assessment that examined every corner of our business from how we source our fabrics to the products you see on store shelves. We were assessed on 5 Impact Area Pillars. Workers, customers, governance, community and environment. This process required us to reflect deeply, identify areas for improvement and take measurable actions to embed sustainability and ethics into every layer of our operations.
We power our M.M Linen offices and retail stores in New Zealand by a fully renewable energy generated electricity supply.
M.M Linen works alongside Small World Textiles as a long-term customer www.smallworldtextiles.com. Together, Small World Textiles and M.M Linen have been focusing on their environmental and sustainability footprint for many years. Small World’s multi faceted sustainability profile includes the conversion of their bedlinen manufacturing factory to solar power beginning in 2007, which today, is now 100% solar powered. In addition, since 2013, Small World has off-set 267,345 tons of carbon, equivalent to 21,387,600 pieces of bed linen, at major natural energy plants.
Our collaboration as a customer with Small World Textiles has allowed us to contribute to improving our environmental impact for our own brand here in New Zealand.
Rather than pursuing short term business, we value building and upholding partnerships with suppliers and factories. Being a customer of Small World Textiles has allowed us to obtain these positive relationships in all stages of production including input and visibility when it comes to practical ethical audit operations, quality control and merchandising teams to assist factories improve where they need help.
While we continue our path to producing high quality, sustainably produced bedding and home accessories, we aren’t perfect but we're committed. Sustainability is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time goal and in the same way we approach design, M.M Linen is always evolving. Becoming part of this community has given us a strong foundation to keep moving forward, with accountability, purpose, and transparency.
Over the last year, we have been working hard towards becoming B Corp Certified. We are proud to say we did it!
