Odlo commits to Sustainable Apparel Coalition
Sports and outdoor apparel manufacturer Odlo has signed up to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC). It will use the SAC’s Higg Index to increase sustainability across its entire supply chain.

“The Higg Index’s holistic approach helps us to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of our sustainability activities and to initiate corresponding measures for improvement,” said Andrea Gerber, sustainability manager at Odlo

Jason Kibbey, CEO of the SAC, said the incorporation of Odlo would help the SAC increase its influence in the clothing industry and accelerate the move towards more sustainable action. 

The SAC counts on the commitment of sports brands including Patagonia, Gore, Adidas and Asics. It also features retailers, manufacturers, non-profit environmental organisations and academic institutions.
