Charles Tyrwhitt has partnered with LoweConex, a provider of IoT technology, to help the retailer reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
The technology will be rolled out across heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems across the menswear brand’s UK stores and distribution centres by the end of the month.
It will give Charles Tyrwhitt an in-depth understanding of running performance, and access to intelligent automation that can drives energy efficiencies, carbon emission reductions and sustainable maintenance.

Charles Tyrwhitt head of distribution and facilities Gareth Strangwood said: “The data intelligence and remote control provided by LoweConex will allow us to eliminate unnecessary energy consumption, tackle wastage and better inform the right environmental initiatives for our store environments across the country.”
The menswear brand is striving to improve its environmental performance. The retailer acknowledges it is part of an industry “that’s a huge contributor to environmental pollution” and in 2021 started to measure and reduce its carbon footprint with sustainability consultant and certification body Planet Mark.
The retailer aimed to reduce its carbon emissions by 5% each year. This year, the company offset 100% of its organisational emissions.
