Making another step in being a better friend to the planet, Burberry is also stopping a long-term practice of destroying unsold product in a worry that it could be taken and resold at a lower value. According to Business of Fashion, in the last five years the fashion house has destroyed $135 million worth of clothing, accessories and perfume.

Burberry’s Chief Executive, Marco Gobbetti, told the BBC: “Modern luxury means being socially and environmentally responsible. This belief is core to us at Burberry and key to our long-term success. We are committed to applying the same creativity to all parts of Burberry as we do to our products.”
