In a world where the human impact on the environment is becoming more and more apparent every day, it’s refreshing to
hear of break-through companies that are having a positive impact. Ethical clothing company, Little Yellow Bird has, in the last year alone, saved 20million litres of water, and 20,698 kilograms of pesticides from the manufacturing
process.
The social enterprise, founded by Samantha Jones, is changing the way clothing is produced and consumed. It is Little Yellow Bird’s meticulous focus on impact across
the entire company that has enabled it to build an ethical supply chain for organic, rainwater-fed cotton, backed by
fair labour practices at every step.

that are being used to contribute to a sustainable future. Over 400 cafes and bars throughout the country, and now even
schools are seeking to align themselves with this future-focused supplier for their uniforms and apparel.
Now consumers have the opportunity to endorse and support the company by investing in Little Yellow Bird. It is

enterprises in our sustainable future” Chair, Anake Goodall said.
