A Brand With Purpose
The heart of Bo&Tee lies in its founding story. When Claire Henderson and Mike Branney saw the poverty many children were enduring across Southeast Asia, they didn’t just talk about change—they acted. Starting by selling clothes on eBay and donating the profits to charity, their humble venture turned into something much bigger. As they built their brand, they never lost sight of their mission to create high-quality, purpose-driven fashion.
Today, Bo&Tee remains rooted in its ethical values, striving to make a positive impact both in fashion and the world. As they put it, “We believe we have a responsibility to help the planet, just as we’re helping communities in Southeast Asia.” From their eco-conscious materials to their commitment to social responsibility, every piece of clothing is designed with purpose and care.
Corporate Social Responsibility at Bo&Tee
Bo&Tee doesn’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk when it comes to corporate social responsibility. Their commitment to maintaining ethical practices across their operations is evident. 71% of their senior roles are held by women, and 70%of their employees are women, making Bo&Tee a shining example of gender equality in the workplace.
They have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination or harassment, ensuring that every employee feels valued and respected, regardless of their gender, race, or background. In fact, 30 managers have received specialized training in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. Additionally, all new team members complete an Equality and Diversityand Bullying and Harassment training within their first two weeks.
Mental wellbeing is also a top priority at Bo&Tee. As a Suicide Safer Organisation, they have 18 Mental Health First Aiders, 12 Suicide Prevention First Aiders, and 12 Suicide Alert Helpers on-site, trained by the Martin Gallier Project. This commitment to mental health is reinforced by an Employee Assistance Program that offers colleagues access to a confidential helpline 24/7.
Investing in People
Bo&Tee’s dedication to fostering growth extends beyond just their team. The brand has launched a UK Scholarship Programme in partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University and Oh Polly, designed to support Black British students pursuing careers in fashion. This initiative aims to encourage diversity and inclusivity in the fashion industry by offering financial support and valuable work experience opportunities.
Additionally, Bo&Tee offers UK industry placements in various roles, including Customer Experience, IT, Design, and Pattern Cutting. These placements are part of Bo&Tee’s ongoing effort to invest in new talent and foster an inclusive environment for all.
How We Manufacture: Ethical Practices and Worker Welfare
Bo&Tee’s commitment to sustainability and ethical practices extends to their manufacturing process. By establishing direct partnerships with external manufacturers, they ensure transparency and maintain high working standards. They’ve also prioritized the welfare of their workers by maintaining a physical presence at manufacturing facilities, overseeing working conditions, and ensuring adherence to their stringent Code of Conduct.
Their CSR initiatives include providing healthcare consultations through on-site doctors and nurses, a life pension for the family of a worker who passes away due to health-related issues, and paid time off for short-term sickness. Additionally, Bo&Tee offers wage advances and interest-free micro loans to ease the financial burden on their employees when unexpected expenses arise. The brand even shares 2% of the profits from their Bangladesh factory with their workers each year, reinforcing their commitment to fair wages and worker welfare.
Giving Back: Making a Difference
Since 2020, Bo&Tee has donated over £500,000 to various charities, with a significant portion supporting The Brannerson Foundation in Cambodia. Every purchase made at Bo&Tee helps support children in one of the poorest regions of the world. The brand’s growing success means that as their community grows, so does the support they can offer to those in need.
Bo&Tee is more than just a fashion brand—it’s a movement. A movement toward sustainable fashion, workplace equality, and meaningful community impact. Whether you’re dressing for the gym or looking for your next wardrobe staple, shopping with Bo&Tee means supporting a brand that’s changing the world, one stylish outfit at a time.
