Helping our customers become more sustainable
Sustainability is in the very core of our purpose and strategy. We want to inspire businesses to grow in a sustainable way. As our business model is based on circular economy, we know that it is possible. For decades, we have been on a mission to avoid overproduction of textiles and optimise the use of natural resources.
Textile waste recycling
In 2023, we recycled 74% of our textile waste (target 100% by 2025). Our bold goal is to close the loop and use our textile waste as raw material for our new textiles
Net-zero emissions
Our target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% across the value chain by 2030, ultimately achieving net-zero emissions by 2050
Sustainable Materials
We aim to increase the sustainability of our materials. Our goal is that 30% of our new textiles include recucled or bio-based materials by 2025.
