RESPONSIBILITIES

Since 1767, we have built a legacy of quality and responsibility, shaping our reputation for exceptional textiles and services. At Joshua Ellis Fabrics, we uphold rigorous standards of quality and compliance, ensuring respect for our supply chain, employees, animals, and the environment. As we recognise their essential roles in our continued success.

From the beginning, we have been committed to sustainable operations and responsible environmental practices. Preserving natural resources and continuously improving our environmental performance remain central to our business strategy and operations.

OUR PEOPLE

Our team are at the heart of our company, and their well-being is a top priority. Backed by our ISO 9001 Certification for Quality Management, we ensure that our operations uphold the highest standards of health, welfare, and safety for all employees.

We are dedicated to supporting our employees development, investing in their training and professional advancement. Their skills and performance are pivotal in consistently delivering the finest quality and service.

We are fully committed to adding value to our community, which is why we employ locally, and whenever feasible, we collaborate with neighbouring businesses for sourcing materials and services, actively participate in local initiatives, and support charitable causes.

We also engage with educational institutions to nurture and inspire the upcoming generation.

SUSTAINABILITY

We are committed to full traceability in our raw material sourcing, ensuring sustainable methods and working with trusted partners throughout our supply chain. We uphold core animal welfare principles, including the five freedoms outlined by the World Organisation for Animal Health.

Our certifications, such as Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), reflect our dedication to advancing animal welfare and responsible land management. As members of the Sustainable Fibre Alliance (SFA), we support responsible cashmere production, promoting high standards for environmental, animal, and community welfare. These certifications serve as global benchmarks within our industry.

We continuously strive to minimise our environmental footprint across both our mill operations and supply chain, ensuring our practices remain sustainable at every level.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES

We’re committed to sustainable practices, demonstrated by our ISO14001 Environmental Management certification. Across our mill, we focus on enhancing efficiency, minimising waste, and reducing our environmental impact by looking to re-use and recycle as much as possible. We carefully choose suppliers who share our environmental values, ensuring we work together to lessen our collective footprint.

Our commitment extends beyond our business. We aim to create positive impacts in the communities where we operate by sourcing local labour, materials, and equipment, fostering strong relationships while supporting the local economy and environment.
