32 Leading Global Fashion and Textile Companies Make Commitments on Climate, Biodiversity and Oceans
· 32 global fashion and textile companies have signed a Fashion Pact
· They have committed to achieving practical objectives together in three areas: climate, biodiversity and oceans
· Representatives of these companies have been invited today at the Elysée Palace by French President Emmanuel Macron
· The Fashion Pact will be presented to heads of state during the G7 meeting at Biarritz
Ahead of the
G7 meeting at Biarritz from August 24-26, French President Emmanuel Macron,
accompanied by Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, Minister of Labour
Muriel Pénicaud, and Deputy Minister of Ecological and Solidary
Transition Brune Poirson, has invited to the Elysée Palace representatives of
the 32 fashion and textile companies who have launched the Fashion Pact by his
side.
In April 2019, ahead of the G7 meeting, Emmanuel
Macron had given François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Kering (Paris:KER), a mission to bring together the leading players in
fashion and textile, with the aim of setting practical objectives for reducing
the environmental impact of their industry.
In a historic move, given the scale and importance of
the coalition that has been created, 32 leading companies from the fashion and
textile industry have given themselves a set of shared objectives in the form
of a Fashion Pact. The coalition includes groups and brands in Luxury, Fashion,
Sports and Lifestyle, along with suppliers and retailers, all of whom are
already involved in separate environmental strategies.
To date, the coalition comprises (in alphabetical
order):
ADIDAS, BESTSELLER,
BURBERRY, CAPRI HOLDINGS LIMITED, CARREFOUR, CHANEL, ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA,
EVERYBODY & EVERYONE, FASHION3, FUNG GROUP, GALERIES LAFAYETTE, GAP Inc.,
GIORGIO ARMANI, H&M GROUP, HERMES, INDITEX, KARL LAGERFELD, KERING, LA
REDOUTE, MATCHESFASHION.COM, MONCLER, NIKE, NORDSTROM, PRADA GROUP, PUMA, PVH
Corp., RALPH LAUREN, RUYI, SALVATORE FERRAGAMO, SELFRIDGES GROUP, STELLA
MCCARTNEY, TAPESTRY.
The Fashion Pact’s objectives draw on the
Science-Based Targets (SBT1) initiative, which focuses on action in
three essential areas for safeguarding the planet:
· Stop global warming: by creating and deploying an action plan for achieving the objective of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in order to keep global warming below a 1.5°C pathway between now and 2100.
· Restore biodiversity: by achieving objectives that use Science-Based Targets to restore natural ecosystems and protect species.
· Protect the oceans: by reducing the fashion industry’s negative impact on the world’s oceans through practical initiatives, such as gradually removing the usage of single-use plastics.
These commitments are designed to be embraced by every
company involved and backed by cross-sector initiatives, along with the
deployment of innovation accelerators.
Private companies, working alongside nation states,
have an essential role to play in protecting the planet. With the Fashion Pact,
some leading players in the fashion and textile sector are joining forces for
the first time to launch an unprecedented movement. A collective endeavor by
its nature, the Fashion Pact is open to any company that wants to help to
fundamentally transform the practices of the fashion and textile industry, and
to meet the environmental challenges of our century.
1 The
aim of the SBT initiative is to match companies’ objectives for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions with the data provided by climate science.
