WALPOLE BRITISH LUXURY SUSTAINABILITY MANIFESTO
In 2020, Walpole launched the Walpole British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto: an ambitious and comprehensive aim to support the British luxury sector in lowering carbon emissions, reducing environmental impacts, and ensuring more sustainable future growth.
A central pillar of the British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto was to create category-specific Working Groups, bringing together the sustainability leads across the Walpole membership intending to enable collaboration, share experience and best practice, combine resources and align on areas of joint action with the mission of accelerating the pace of change towards a more sustainable future for luxury in the UK. In a collaborative series of webinars and talks, Accouter looks forward to joining the luxury panel in a bid to becoming a more eco-minded company for the future.

“We are delighted to welcome AGC to the Walpole fold. It is an incredibly exciting luxury brand with a global reach, contributing to British luxury’s position on the world stage.
“Walpole members represent the best of the best in the luxury sector and Accouter Group of Companies joins an array of brands who enhance the reputation of Global Britain, contributing significantly to the UK’s reputation for exemplary design and sustainability. We are looking forward to working with the team as AGC continues its journey, collaborating and partnering with other luxury brands.”
