OUR PLANET
At Flo & Frankie, we believe fashion can be a powerful force for good. Every day, we’re making more mindful choices, reducing waste, supporting circular fashion, and partnering with people who share our values. Sustainability is a journey, and we’re proud to be on it. Together, we’re taking steps - big and small - toward a brighter future for people and planet.
PACKAGING WITH PURPOSE
500,000
single-use plastic bag saved since 2023
500,000 REASONS TO FEEL GOOD
Since 2023, we’ve kept over 500,000 single-use plastic bags out of landfill by switching to recyclable, biodegradable sleeves.
Today, 75% of our garments arrive plastic-free - and we’re working with our brands to get that number even higher.
OUR COURIER BAGS
Every online order is sent in home-compostable mailers made from renewable materials like corn starch and PBAT. Just remove the label and pop it in your compost bin. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.
WE PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL
We pour thought into every detail of our packaging - from the design to the little friendly notes tucked inside - all with the intention of sparking joy and sharing gentle reminders to care for each other and the planet.

GREENER THINKING AT HQ
Sustainability starts from the inside out. At our head office, we’ve swapped out single-use plastics and continue to make small, smart changes to reduce our daily impact. It’s a journey, but we’re committed.
WE ARE ON A JOURNEY
We call this a journey, because we know there is always more improvements we can make to become more sustainable, and we feel every little step, no matter how big or small, is important. We recognise we are far from perfect, however, believe that any progress is better than no progress, and are excited to keep aiming to improve our triple bottom line of sustainability.
If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback for us, please feel free to flick us an email. We would so love to hear from you and get in touch with companies that can help us tread a little lighter on this wonderful world of ours.
