At Bianca Spender, we believe fashion must tread more lightly on the earth. In a world increasingly shaped by environmental crisis, our commitment to climate action is both a creative responsibility and a moral imperative.
Since 2019, Bianca Spender has proudly maintained accreditation as a Carbon Neutral Organisation, certified annually by Climate Active, an initiative backed by the Australian Government. This certification reflects a rigorous, ongoing commitment to measuring, reducing and offsetting our emissions across all aspects of the business – from design and production to packaging and operations.
Our climate-conscious approach is rooted in the belief that the future of fashion lies in deep consideration: repurposing existing materials, designing for longevity, and championing local, ethical production. Every Bianca Spender garment, outside of a small offering of knitwear, is made in Australia, ensuring a shorter supply chain and a lighter footprint, while supporting skilled makers and communities close to home.
We have carefully selected charities that align with our values and reflect the needs of our environmental landscape:
Australian Wildlife Conservancy – Piccaninny Plains Sanctuary
Located in the heart of Cape York Peninsula, this sanctuary protects one of Australia’s most biodiverse and ecologically significant landscapes. Bianca Spender supports the AWC’s tireless conservation efforts as they work to preserve native species, restore habitat, and safeguard the future of Australia’s unique wildlife.
Ripple Offsets – Reforestation in Kenya
Ripple’s African reforestation project is based in the Kijabe Forest, Kenya. This ecologically vital area faces significant deforestation. This initiative supports the regeneration of native forests, improves water security, and empowers local communities through job creation and education. Bianca Spender supports Ripple for its holistic approach to carbon offsetting that balances environmental restoration with community impact.
To be climate active is to move with intention. It means crafting collections that honour the earth, respect its limits, and celebrate what already exists. Through the use of remnant fabrics, limited production runs, and waste-reducing practices, we aim to create with purpose, not excess.
Our climate action journey is ongoing. But with care, creativity and conviction, we’re working toward a future where every creative choice is made with a deep consideration of its impact.
