SILENCE / Responsibility
Responsibility should be built into a business from the beginning, not added when somebody asks for it.
Our position
SILENCE is a young business. That gives us an opportunity: to understand our environmental and social impact while the business is still being built, rather than trying to reconstruct it later.
We know producing goalkeeper gloves has an impact. Materials are manufactured. Products are transported. Packaging is used. Deliveries are made.
We are not going to pretend that impact does not exist. We are going to measure it, understand it and work to reduce it.
Our framework
Understand where our environmental impact occurs, measure it and make better decisions as SILENCE grows.
Our responsibility extends to the people who make, sell, wear and experience SILENCE products.
Responsibility only matters if the standards behind it are measurable, documented and capable of being challenged.
Our impact
We began building our carbon measurement process from our first production run in 2026. As the quality of our data improves, so will the accuracy of our reporting.
Products manufactured, weights, materials and available factory data.
Shipment weight, origin, destination and transport method.
Mailer boxes, glove bags, tissue, tape, labels and inserts.
Customer fulfilment, returns, replacements and associated transport.
Samples, defective stock, discarded products and packaging waste.
Working towards measuring the estimated kg CO₂e attributable to each pair sold.
The approach
Build the evidence first. Record the activities, products and movements that create our impact and improve the quality of that data over time.
Use that evidence to identify where meaningful reductions can be made across products, packaging, freight and operations.
Share meaningful progress when we have the evidence to support it. No vague green claims. No pretending we know more than we do.
SILENCE Sports Limited
SILENCE Sports Limited is committed to developing its business in a responsible, transparent and commercially sustainable way.
We recognise that our operations and supply chain create environmental and social impacts. Our approach is to identify those impacts, improve the quality of the information available to us and make proportionate improvements as the business develops.
We aim to:
We expect people involved in making and delivering SILENCE products to be treated fairly and with dignity.
We therefore seek to work with suppliers and partners who support:
As a brand operating within youth sport, we also recognise our responsibility to communicate and market products appropriately to young people, parents, coaches and clubs.
SILENCE aims to communicate accurately and transparently about its environmental and social performance.
We recognise that a significant proportion of SILENCE's environmental and social impact sits within our supply chain.
We will progressively improve the information we hold about key suppliers, including manufacturing practices, materials, energy, waste, labour standards and logistics.
Where concerns are identified, we will seek appropriate clarification and corrective action and consider the issue when making future purchasing decisions.
SILENCE is developing an internal carbon ledger to record relevant activities and estimate their greenhouse-gas impact using recognised emissions factors and supplier information where available.
Our aim is to improve the completeness and accuracy of this information year by year and ultimately understand the carbon intensity of our products, including estimated kg CO₂e per pair sold.
Responsibility for this policy sits with the directors of SILENCE Sports Limited.
The policy will be reviewed at least annually and may be updated sooner where changes to the business, supply chain, applicable guidance or available evidence make this appropriate.
Policy version: 1.0
Effective: August 2026
Next scheduled review: August 2027
Where we go next
We are at the beginning of this work. As SILENCE grows, our aim is simple: better data, better decisions and measurable improvement.
