Toronto, August 3, 2023 – Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is partnering with Joe Fresh to create a limited-edition capsule collection for the whole family. The collection was inspired by Canadian national parks and includes items for babies, toddlers, kids and adults, and a portion of proceeds will be donated to CPAWS to support their conservation and outdoor education efforts. The entire collection will be available online and in select stores on August 10th, 2023.
For 60 years, CPAWS has been focused on conserving nature to respond to biodiversity loss and climate change. They are Canada’s leader in conservation and the only charity dedicated to the protection of Canadian public land, freshwater and ocean. CPAWS is currently working towards protecting at least 30 percent of Canadian land and ocean by 2030, through knowledge-based advocacy, public education and engagement.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Joe Fresh to bring this first collection together that will help support CPAWS’ initiatives and bring more awareness to our organization,” says Sandra Schwartz, CPAWS National Executive Director. “Having a partnership like this supports our work to permanently protect land, freshwater and ocean in Canada to sustain nature and people for current and future generations.”
As a brand Joe Fresh is working to better their practices through sustainability initiatives that help reduce their impact on the planet. Items within this collection were made with thoughtfully sourced materials that contribute to the brand’s sustainability efforts, such as GRS certified recycled polyester and Better Cotton. Better Cotton’s mission is to help cotton communities survive and thrive, while protecting and restoring the environment.
“Offering our customers more responsibly sourced products is a priority for us at Joe Fresh,” says Lisa Steele, Director of Communications, Joe Fresh. “Partnering with CPAWS provides an exciting opportunity to create clothing made with materials that not only reduce our impact on the environment, but also celebrates landscapes in Canada, and supports a Canadian organization that aligns with our values, and our customer’s values.”
The capsule collection includes products for babies, toddlers, kids and adults in all in gender free options including a selection of cozy sweats, sleepwear, outerwear and accessories inspired by nature. With the purchase of items within this collection, a portion of the proceeds of up to $75,000 will be donated to CPAWS to help further their conservation efforts and continue public education.
