our sustainable commitments

At WNU, we are all about making effortlessly elegant shirts for all women. But as a business, we want to be more than just a product.

Our Impact

WHAT IS AN IMPACT REPORT?

As a B-Corp, we are commited each year to share an update on the progress we're continually making to minimise our impact on the planet.

From the choice of production methods, raw materials and working conditions to our environmental footprint and engagement in the community.

You can read our 2025 Impact Report here.

B Corp Certification

WHAT IS IT AND WHY?

B Corp is one of the most demanding certifications that evaluates brands’ social and environmental impact, with over 300 questions on governance, workers, communities and impact on the environment.

It means that WNU is closer to becoming the brand we desire to be at our core. 
Our certification is the result of the collective work at WNU that started in February 2020. To read more about B Corp and view our assessment please have a look here.

Our production process

FROM RAW MATERIALS TO EFFORTLESS SHIRTING

Over 85% of our collection is made in Portugal, where we have built solid relationships, from the outset, with our suppliers. Our Portuguese factories have predominantly female staff and uphold the highest standard of working ethics, including pay and rights.

UPHOLDING OUR ETHICAL STANDARDS

We have a code of conduct in place for all external suppliers, holding everyone to contract when it comes to our ethical policies.

We pay regular visits to our factories to ensure that the standards set in WNU’s code of conduct are being met. As well as this, we make sure that all of our fabric mills and manufacturers have been audited to allow full transparency into their sourcing and operational policies.

Transportation and Distribution

OUR STORE

The energy we use to power our store is UK REGO certified from 100% Renewable sources, including wind and solar.

We believe in contributing no extra waste to our planet. Thats why our store furniture is either second-hand or made from natural british materials.

OUR TRANSPORTATION

In order to limit the CO2 emissions linked to the delivery of our products to our warehouse, we favour boat, road and rail over air transport.

Charity Work

MORE THAN JUST A PRODUCT

WNU was created to make the perfect shirt for women, but as a business, we want to be more than just a product. From the very beginning, supporting charities has been intrinsic to the brand and we are honoured to have worked with charities both locally and Nationally.

Here, below, is a list of a few of the amazing places we have worked with - please do check them out.

Smart Works Reading. The charity helping women get into work. Through a number of activations we have worked closely with Smart Works Reading, from donating shirts to add to the charity’s wardrobe to styling sessions to raising monetary donations through online activations.

Tuesday Night Bites. The charity food and clothing bank in East London. After raising money to help fund this incredible organisation, we called out to friends, family and customers (- thank you!) to make a donation of clothes ahead of the Winter months.

Luminary Bakery. The charity baking to help women from disadvantaged backgrounds. After Meghan Markle wore one of our shirts to this bakery, WNU became a corporate partner and donated profits from the sales of the shirt Meghan wore.  

Others include Salvation Army, Heart Research UK and CoppaFeel!
