Murray’s First Sustainability Policy Introduced
Murray leads the way in sustainable uniforms by introducing our very first sustainability policy and commits to systematic change across design, sourcing and operations to create a more sustainable uniform solution.
Murray Introduces Fair Trade Policy
We partnered with Fair Trade to ensure ethical sourcing throughout our global supply-chain and to help address the garment industry’s wider impacts on the developing world such as climate change and global inequality.
Human Rights & Labour Policies Introduced
We introduced comprehensive policies around human and labour rights and ethical sourcing to ensure all employees are treated fairly and that we maintain high ethical standards across all business activities.
Murray Gets an ISO 9001 Certification
Awarded ISO 9001 certified for quality management systems.
Environmental ISO 14001 Standard Certification Earned
Achieved ISO 14001 certification for environmental management systems showing we are taking proactive steps to minimise our environmental footprint.
Murray Becomes a Sedex Member
We are proud to be members of Sedex, an organization who provide data-driven insights to help buyers and suppliers improve their ESG outcomes. We work with Sedex approved factories, which undergo SMETA audits to ensure our suppliers uphold ethical labour, health, safety, and environmental practices.
Research and Tracking Carbon Emissions
We became certified to ISO 27001 IT security standard, ensuring that sensitive information is properly managed and protected. We started measuring our scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions, from sources owned or controlled by us and our energy consumption.
Murray Deliveries Are Carbon Neutral
To further reduce our carbon emissions, we went carbon neutral on all our deliveries and collections, resulting in a net-zero carbon footprint. We also reduced our carbon emissions by 15%.
Murray Reaches Zero Landfill Target
In 2022, we reached our zero-landfill target. We also took our carbon footprint measuring to the next level by measuring our carbon footprint per product, including scope 3 (indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur outside of a company’s direct operations).
Calculation of Recycled Uniform Commences
To help our customers with their ESG goals and better demonstrate the impact of our recycling scheme, we have started calculating the carbon emissions saved by recycling old uniforms.
Textile manufacturing generates an estimated 2–4% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. By aligning with suppliers who share our rigor in traceability, material reuse and energy-management, we help our clients reduce the carbon footprint of their uniform programmes.
Through innovative fabrics, efficient design, reduced virgin-material consumption, and circular-economy pathways (reuse, recycle, renew), our programmes deliver a quantifiable uplift in your ESG metrics — improving brand reputation, reducing risk of regulation or disruption, and strengthening total cost of uniform ownership.

After thirty years on the journey, sustainability is baked into every stage of our Science of Uniform® process.
From fabric selection to finished garments, we prioritise materials with lower embodied carbon, recycled content, certified supply-chains (e.g., Fair Trade, Sedex/SMETA) and minimal waste. Every uniform is designed for longevity, repairability and end-of-life reuse. Helping reduce both raw-material consumption and disposal costs.
We deliver uniforms backed by ethical labour practices, secure and safe working environments, above-Living-Wage pay, and community investment. Our internal culture supports wellbeing, diversity and professional development. Our uniforms are built to improve wellbeing for our clients’ teams.
Sustainability includes helping our clients succeed, our bespoke uniforms last longer, reducing the need for virgin materials. We partner with clients to build ROI from their uniform programmes, aligning brand-fit, staff-engagement and productivity gains.
