Combat Climate Change:
Acknowledging the alarm bells—the textile industry alone accounts for up to 10 percent of global carbon emissions—we are committed to a minimum 45 percent reduction of GHG emissions by 2030.

Decent Work for All:

We are motivated by the conviction that every worker deserves respect and safe working conditions. Our mandate ensures that people, and planet, are at the center of our work.
