In 2014, it added Plan A 2020, which consists of 100 modified commitments to achieve by 2020.

Toiny Pang, environmental sustainability manager at M&S, will share more details about Plan A 2025 during a presentation at the 18th Shanghai International Exhibition on Textile Industry (ShanghaiTex 2017) on November 28.

Organisers say 1,200 exhibitors have signed up to the show at Shanghai New International Expo Centre between 27 and 30 November.
