Our industry has a significant impact. That is why we are working towards countering climate change, using resources efficiently and promoting human rights. Our sustainability strategy is named Fashion FWD and it sets our near-term direction and keeps us accountable with goals to achieve by 2025. When we have achieved these goals, we will then set new ones, always aiming higher.

How we work to increase transparency and traceability of our products and materials, to digitalise our ways of working, to reduce our impact on our climate and environment, to motivate and support our people, to cooperate throughout our industry and to stimulate innovation.
