Gap, H&M, BESTSELLER, Mango: Uniting for Sustainable Fashion

Plenty of support for the initiative

Toni Ruiz, CEO of Mango, said: “Mango sees sustainability as a journey the fashion industry has to make in order to achieve a more just society and to reduce its environmental and social impact.

“In order to reach our climate ambitions, fashion companies inevitably need to decarbonise our supply chains.”

Lewis Perkins, president and CEO, Apparel Impact Institute, said: “To achieve this industry’s ambitious climate goals, it’s imperative that every stakeholder leverages their influence to drive tangible change.

“A joint effort among brands and retailers is essential to create conditions where suppliers are motivated and capable of making these investments.”

Gaurav Menon, Partner at Guidehouse, said: “Supplier decarbonisation must progress more quickly to meet the scientifically based climate targets.

“The Future Supplier Initiative (FSI) aims to bridge the gap between the current way of doing business and the needs of operating in a world constrained by climate change.”

Adam Karlsson, CFO, H&M Group, said the company is “beyond proud” to be a part of the project.

He added: “Producing materials and manufacturing products generates most of our emissions. However, we don’t own our suppliers and we share them with other brands.

“Therefore the best way to reduce emissions in our supply chain is to work with other apparel companies.”
