ACCOUTER GROUP OF COMPANIES JOINS WALPOLE: A.LONDON’S SUSTAINABLE JOURNEY_
ANNOUNCEMENTS April 2021
International award-winning design studio Accouter Group of Companies recently announced that they have joined Walpole alongside leading British brands such as Alexander McQueen, Corinthia London and Burberry. As part of the design collective, A.LONDON are thrilled to be part of such a prestigious membership.
Joining Walpole, whose mission is to promote and enhance the British luxury sector across the globe, will help to reinforce AGC’s luxury brand positioning, which is based on a handpicked team of interior designers and fellow artisans who are dedicated to creating schemes which are hallmarked by a clear understanding of our clients’ desires and lifestyle.
A.LONDON’S SUSTAINABLE JOURNEY
“AGC have begun their impressive mission to becoming a fully carbon-neutral company. Carbon neutral status is difficult within the interior design sector and AGC will be collaborating with other Walpole members to define and deliver on benchmarks set for the luxury industry.”
“As proud members of Walpole, we are thrilled to join forces with Britain’s most remarkable luxury brands. Together we look forward to supporting and collaborating with our peers and play an active role in influencing the voice of luxury on a global scale. Our ambition is to take learnings from other industries within the sector to influence the world of interiors, especially within a sustainable practice.”
– Stella Gittins, Co-Founder, Accouter Group of Companies.
We have already made eco-conscious efforts to becoming a more sustainable company, beginning with our luxury interior design lookbook which has been printed on FSC certified paper, wrapped in wildflower seed paper, all tied together in a silk ribbon made from recycled bottles, in a gift that keeps on giving.
In addition to this, A.LONDON’s designers take pride in working alongside UK family-run craft makers and local businesses, to create pieces designed with style and durability in mind. The team hire in highly trained technicians to restore tired antiques into their former glory, making them bespoke, timeless heirlooms unique to your home.
WALPOLE’S BRITISH LUXURY SUSTAINABILITY MANIFESTO
In 2020, Walpole launched the Walpole British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto: an ambitious and comprehensive aim to support the British luxury sector in lowering carbon emissions, reducing environmental impacts, and ensuring more sustainable future growth.
A central pillar of the British Luxury Sustainability Manifesto was to create category-specific Working Groups. This brings together the sustainability leads across the Walpole membership intending to enable collaboration, share experience and best practice, combine resources and align on areas of joint action with the mission of accelerating the pace of change towards a more sustainable future for luxury in the UK.
In a collaborative series of webinars and talks, A.LONDON looks forward to joining the luxury panel in a bid to becoming a more eco-minded company for the future.
“We are delighted to welcome AGC to the Walpole fold. It is an incredibly exciting luxury brand with a global reach, contributing to British luxury’s position on the world stage.
“Walpole members represent the best of the best in the luxury sector and Accouter Group of Companies joins an array of brands who enhance the reputation of Global Britain, contributing significantly to the UK’s reputation for exemplary design and sustainability. We are looking forward to working with the team as AGC continues its journey, collaborating and partnering with other luxury brands.”
– Helen Brocklebank, Chief Executive Officer, Walpole.
