Grow Future Thinking.
Get ready for everything.
Grow Future Thinking.
This is the name for all of our initiatives that drive positive change both inside and outside Superdry.
“Through independent thinking we can drive positive change and unlock the potential of people, communities and responsible sustainable practice in all that we do.” (Phil Dickinson, Creative Director - Superdry, 2020)
Grow Future Thinking
Our Identity
This mark, inspired by a Japanese gift giving knot, is used to identify our Grow Future Thinking (GFT) initiatives. It embodies our ambition to create the potential to do things better, do the right thing and deliver positive change.
Doing good means delivering meaningful positive change. Simple as that.
GFT also allows us to do this and a little bit more…
Challenge traditional thinking.
If it isn’t broken, break it. If we never get lost we never find a new way.
Nourish our culture and values.
Our founder believes in independent creative thinking combined with passion and a spirit of adventure, so we can dream big and scale our ability to build positive change.
Engage in meaningful action.
Don’t just do something, stand by it. Sometimes we need to show our support for existing momentum rather than creating our own, as it may distract from already great initiatives. Sometimes we need to create the momentum ourselves, but we should never become stuck in a routine.
Sign up, join in and be accountable.
Create clarity of purpose so people can easily sign up, join in and be accountable for their efforts.
There are 5 Pillars of GFT at Superdry.
