VF to slash ‘environmental footprint’ by half
12/12/2017
It also aims to “measurably improve the lives of one million garment industry workers and local community members by 2025”.
The goals are set out in its new global sustainability and responsibility strategy, Made for Change.
It said: “VF will leverage its global scale and influence to drive meaningful changes across the industry. This includes dramatically reducing the impact of materials used to manufacture its products such as water and cotton, and decarbonising across its supply chain to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"Additionally, VF will continue to take actions that ensure safe working conditions at its contract supplier factories and benefit factory workers and their communities including: access to clean water and sanitation, health and nutrition initiatives, and childcare and education.”
VF’s brands includes Vans, The North Face, Timberland, Wrangler and Lee.
