  1. TOAST aspires to a slower, more thoughtful way of life. Established in 1997 in Wales, TOAST began with nightwear and loungewear, inspired by nature and the surrounding landscape. The collections were designed with a relaxed sense of ease and made with quality materials in long lasting silhouettes. Today, our approach remains true to our beginnings – creating simple, modern and functional pieces intended to last for years to come. Our clothing, homeware and accessories are produced in collaboration with artisans, weavers, and mills from across the globe. We work together to support local communities, preserving craftsmanship and traditional techniques. Handmade pieces created by skilled craftspeople become treasured items to keep and pass on. TOASTCircle offers a range of options to help foster longevity, celebrate the art of repair and connect with our community. Each of our shops across the UK is a welcoming space in which to slow down, discover our seasonal collections, learn more about our makers and techniques, and come together for creative events.

  2. Social Conscience For 25 years, TOAST has championed a slow and considered way of life. We are keenly aware of our impact on people and the planet. We create clothes and home products that are durable - both in their life cycle and in their style - making it possible to use them for many years. We want to understand where and how we can make a difference as our business grows. With growth comes responsibility, and opportunity to drive change. Community is at the heart of every facet of our business, we believe our best path forward isn’t as a singular voice but a collaborative one, working closely with our customers, suppliers and makers. Global clothing consumption continues to rise, and while our human consumption creates jobs and growth in developing nations, it also has an enormous environmental and social cost. As a result, we have created a roadmap to tackle this that reflects our purpose and values.

  3. Social Conscience • Enrich & Educate • Today • We profile makers, factories, and provide an insight into the making of our products alongside interviews with people who inspire us and share our thoughtful ethos. • We foster a thoughtful workplace, nurturing individual growth. We value creativity and encourage employees to present their ideas and to find meaning in their roles. • We provide detailed information about TOAST materials, explaining our approach to fiber sourcing and creating our fabrics as well as online care advice for all fabrics to ensure they last. • New Makers, now in its fifth year running, is providing a platform along with one-on-one mentoring for emerging makers. To date we have helped launch the careers of 25 emerging makers. • We run repair workshops across the UK and online, with helpful guides to mastering traditional techniques such as sashiko, as well as other forms of reuse through the lenses of sustainability, culture and storytelling.

  4. Social Conscience • Tomorrow • We will track against our Social Conscience Attributes, and aim to show year-on-year improvements. This detailed supplier and product information allows you to make more informed choices. • We will commit to partnering with mentorship programmes supporting creative students and graduates each year from 2023, offering guided experience in various departments of the business. • We aim to provide an inclusive setting, one where we celebrate and nurture our thoughtful, diverse creatives, both locally and internationally. • We will support creative communities through long-term commitments to global and local charities and organisations.

  5. Social Conscience • Cherish Materials & Make • Today • We have long-standing relationships with our makers, suppliers and artisans - we have been working with those responsible for 80% of our clothing production for at least ten years. • We ensure each of our suppliers follow our ethical policy; annual audits review areas of social compliance including safe working conditions, fair working hours and pay. • When developing fabrics we consider all aspects from origin, durability, look, feel and texture, and choose the right materials for the right garment. We aim to use natural fibres and yarns that are biodegradable. • Organic cotton remains our priority. We are committed to switching to organic cotton wherever the option is available to us. • We seek out collaborations with makers, supporting the diverse global craft community. Currently 17% of our collections have been produced by either small-scale makers that utilise craft techniques.

  6. Social Conscience • Tomorrow • We will ensure 85% of our products use natural fibres and we will increase our use of certified materials in our collections. • We will increase our use of recycled fibres - with recycled alternatives to polyamide, polyester and nylon used in socks and knitwear yarns. Wherever synthetic content is used, it can be no more than 20% of the fabric. • We will share the audit results of suppliers and makers responsible for 80% of our clothing production by 2024, and ensure we are sharing best practice to address any areas highlighted for improvement. • We will determine the production miles used in the creation of our core womenswear and menswear products. Analysis of this data will allow us to identify where we can increase our locally sourced materials and lower production miles. • We will continue to build our database of partners who are specialists in their field including sourcing raw materials locally.

  7. Social Conscience • Minimise Waste • Today • With a vision of becoming fully circular, repurposing surplus materials and incorporating circular strategies into collection planning and initiatives is essential. We begin by exploring our existing fabrics before sourcing new ones, which prompt new ideas for products, fabric combinations and techniques. • We are always thinking of creative ways to manage and reduce the by-products of our production. We continue to challenge unnecessary waste through the use of 3D pattern cutting, placing smaller buys and managing our flow of stock. • We evaluate our supply chain and interrogate the provenance of our materials to support our aim of using locally sourced materials. Some of our suppliers work with local mills that are between 20 – 200 kilometres away from the factory. We actively support UK-based makers to reduce our production miles.

  8. Social Conscience • Tomorrow • We will expand TOAST Circle to encompass TOAST Reworn, the donation and resale of secondhand TOAST garments. It is our ambition that a percentage of our sales will be generated through circular models in the coming years. • We will repurpose surplus materials in our collections and reuse unsellable garments returned to TOAST by upcycling to create unique designs. • We will continue to produce more focused collections to reduce our levels of surplus stock, creating a flow of newness across the season
