HEALTHY SOIL. LESS WATER. BETTER FOR OUR PLANET.
WE’RE ENSURING OUR CARBON EMISSIONS HAVE NO NET IMPACT ON THE PLANET BY 2040.
We’ve decided to play an active role in limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°c. To achieve this, we’re making several changes to how our products are made, how we move them, and where we sell them.
HEALTHY SOIL. LESS WATER. BETTER FOR OUR PLANET.
How our products are made accounts for half of our total carbon footprint as a brand, so by 2025, 65% of our garments will be converted to organic, low-impact, or recycled materials. And, half of all the garments we produce will be made in factories using renewable electricity.
How we move our products accounts for 5% of our total carbon footprint in 2020/1, and we’re continuing to take steps to reduce these emissions further. We use barges instead of lorries to transport nearly half of our garments from port to warehouse in Belgium, and we capped our use of inbound air freight to 1% for the coming year - moving our 99% of garments via the lowest possible carbon routes including sea freight.
Where we sell our clothes is the last piece of the puzzle. Our owned stores and offices have used renewable electricity since 2017, and we’re working with franchise store partners to help them make the switch too. This accounts for a small percentage of our overall footprint in 2020/1 – 1.7% – but every bit counts.
NET-ZERO IS THE GOAL, AND WE ARE GOING TO PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN LIMITING THE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE RISE.
