The name is intended to say it all: Bassike, a label of lust-worthy proportions born out of the simple desire to provide wardrobe staples that could be worn with ease (and a certain degree of non-chalance). The brainchild of close friends Deborah Sams and Mary Lou Ryan, it stepped onto the Antipodean design scene in July 2006.
From that point on, it has flourished; and what began as a breezy collection of organic cotton-jersey T-shirts, dresses and trousers has since rounded out into more softly tailored territory. The intention however, lives on: current, eternal and effortless, each piece is designed to work seperately but also in conjunction and although new styles have been added - namely wool, jersey, cotton shirting, denim and leather - beauty still belongs to the wearer. With Bassike, personal style resonates.
Three years on, the cult-label is stocked in premium retailers throughout Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK and Europe. It is also available through the online boutique.
Sustainable focus
Bassike is commited to a low carbon production. The clothing is manufactured locally and the material is organic.
Bassike is working with Climakind to develop a carbon management plan, EmissionsAware, to help reduce our demand on energy and the carbon emissions from operations.

The New Normal for Australian Investors: Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Integration.
Whether it is the over 90* Australian asset owners and fund managers who have signed the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, or the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations that explicitly mention sustainability issues, there is little doubt that a “new normal” in investing is emerging in Australia. In fact, one might say that it no longer is a question of who is or is not integrating ESG into their investment analysis, but who is doing the best job of it.
At the heart of this “new normal” is the need for objective, transparent and comparable ESG information that can be used to implement a full range of responsible investment strategies, including negative screening, best-in-class analysis, compliance and risk monitoring and engagement, as well as integration into mainstream analysis.
Come hear Henrik Steffensen, founder of ASSET4, a Thomson Reuters business. ASSET4 is the leading provider of objective and transparent ESG data and analysis tools.
Henrik will discuss:
+ Global and Australia-specific trends creating the new normal ASSET4 methodology, framework and data
+ Responsible investment strategies
+ Dynamic ESG ratings – a fundamental change in timeliness
+ Materiality and impact analysis – the next phase of ESG integration
As we move forward into the ”new normal”, come learn how to flexibly integrate ESG information into your investment strategies to improve performance and reduce risk. * the most asset owners and fund managers signatories of any country.
