It aims to improve soil conditions, support biodiversity, and strengthen local livelihoods, while contributing to resilience in raw material sourcing.

Our emission targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). SBTi is focused on helping companies reduce their carbon emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

The Sector Cooperation for Circularity (Sektorsamarbejde for Cirkularitet) was launched by the Danish Ministry of Environment, Danish industry associations and a select group of Danish fashion and textile companies.

Among its contents, one of the ambitions is that recycled materials must account for 40 percent of the signatory companies' production fabrics by 2030, whereof at least 10 percent must be textile-to-textile recycled materials. In addition, garments must be designed for multiple ‘lives’ and a larger part of clothing sales in Denmark must come from resale.

The Danish Innovation Fund has granted DKK 106.5 million for a mission-driven partnership, which will support research within the circular economy for plastics and textiles in Denmark until 2050.

BESTSELLER has committed to participate in various projects and will contribute with skills, internal resources and finances. Our Head of Sustainability, Dorte Rye Olsen, partakes in the board of the Partnership within Circular Economy of Plastics and Textiles.
