As an apparel manufacturer, product life cycle assessments show us that our biggest environmental impacts are in our supply chain.
These impacts are systemic and best addressed through collaborative solutions. We measure and manage our raw material and manufacturing impacts with the Higg Material Sustainability Index (MSI) and Facility Environmental Module (FEM). This helps us better understand and benchmark our supply chain performance, establish targets and priorities, and inform the design and procurement of products.
We collaborate with our suppliers to help improve their energy reduction efforts. As a founding member of the Carbon Leadership Project with the Apparel Impact Institute and RESET Carbon, we seek to collaborate and develop approaches to reduce supply chain emissions that can be adopted industry-wide.
