Bee Aspinal: Partnership

At Aspinal of London, partnership sits at the heart of our approach to sustainability. We believe in working with skilled craftspeople, trusted suppliers, and respected organisations who share our commitment to responsible practices, quality, and longevity, ensuring every product is created with care and consideration.

We are a member of SEDEX, one of the world's leading ethical trade organisations, who work with businesses to monitor and improve working conditions in the supply chain. SEDEX provides a platform with data driven insight, as well as providing globally recognised social audits for responsible business practices.

We are also proud members of the Leather Working Group (LWG), alongside all of our partner tanneries, reflecting our commitment to sourcing leather from audited and certified suppliers who uphold recognised environmental and ethical standards while continually striving for progress within the industry.

South Downs National Park Trust

Over the past three years, we have supported the South Downs National Park Trust through financial donations. Spanning across the South of England, the South Downs National Park is home to important habitats including chalk grasslands, ancient woodland and coastal landscapes.

The Trust works to protect and restore these environments through projects such as tree planting, wildlife meadow creation, dew pond restoration and the reintroduction of native species. Their current objective is to increase the amount of land managed for nature within the National Park from 25% to 33% by 2030.

Alongside financial support, our staff members have also enjoyed taking a day out of the office and volunteering for South Downs.

Macmillan Cancer Support is our employee-selected charity partner. The organisation provides practical, emotional and financial support to people affected by cancer across the UK, including patients, families and carers.

Each year, more than 2.4 million people access Macmillan's services. The charity funds over 3,500 healthcare professionals nationwide, including nurses, social workers and therapists, while also offering guidance on finances, benefits and everyday support during treatment.

We raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support through a range of internal initiatives, including coffee mornings, raffles, tombolas and sales of our Aspinal Honey.

My Sisters' House Women's Centre is a local charity based in West Sussex that supports women affected by domestic abuse. The organisation provides confidential, trauma informed support, including one to one emotional and practical help, advocacy, safety planning, and long term recovery services, helping women rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive environment.

As part of its support offering, My Sisters' House delivers the Thrive Programme, a wraparound service that includes one to one coaching and group workshops. The programme is designed to help women overcome barriers, build confidence, and re engage with work, education, and community life.

Through this programme, Aspinal bags are donated to support women as they prepare to return to the workplace, helping to build confidence and a sense of readiness for their next steps.
