What’s new in the RUBY Toolbox for Change?

RUBY's Marketing Director Anna-Lise takes us through their three key tools that are new to their Toolbox for Change, and their approach to evolving their sustainability efforts.

• STANDARD TOOLS

"When we think about how we at RUBY can help solve our business & industry problems, the Toolbox is a useful analogy. There are the standard tools: tools that everyone should really have. Use of Better Practice materials, responsible manufacturing processes, carbon reduction plans, these are the non-negotiables of doing business. In these areas, we can learn from each other on the best decisions to make, or how to channel our energies so that we have the most positive impact."

• SPECIALIST TOOLS

"Also in our Toolbox is equipment that we have really saved up for. Specialist tools that we are learning how to wield, and how to share with our community. For us, this is the work we have done on waste minimisation, and how we nurture a mutually nourishing relationship with our community, through the work we’ve done on sizing and our support of local industry."

• SHOP BY TOOLBOX

"We have identified 5 classifications we want to highlight about the manufacturing of our materials and garments. On our website, we note when a product is manufactured in this way and you can now filter your search by that classification tag."
