Email Response From Burberry Regarding Their Use Of Fur

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your feedback regarding Burberry’s use of natural hides.

By way of background Burberry is an international luxury brand producing apparel and accessories with a distinct British sensibility for over 150 years. During this time and as a company with a strong outerwear heritage, there has been and will continue to be limited occasions where the use of natural hides will be considered important to meet consumer tastes and demand.
  Burberry believes that any materials sourced from animals should be produced without inflicting cruelty or threatening the environment. We will not use natural hides if there is any concern that they have been produced by the unacceptable treatment of the animals. For this reason we do not source such materials from China.

We source natural hides very carefully safeguarding the correct ethical standards and traceability. We principally source fur from SAGA furs in Finland who are well known for upholding high standards of ethical treatment of animals and share our concerns about animal welfare. Consistent with this approach the farms which supply fur are open to third-party inspections at any time.

We do understand your concern on this understandably emotive subject particularly given the inaccurate statements and images that are used in connection with Burberry's use of natural hides. So thank you for taking the time to contact us on this subject and giving us the opportunity to reply.
