OUR PROGRESS
The climate crisis impacts everything, including fashion. In 2018, the global fashion industry was responsible for around 2.1 billion tonnes of emissions*. Being a responsible brand, now is when we need to make a difference.
At COS, we’re not just making changes to what we do, but also how we do it. We want to drive change for our whole industry. To make the things we love last longer, we need to push beyond our boundaries so that we’re staying within the boundaries of our planet while using fewer resources.
Together with the H&M Group, we are committed to halving our greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) with 56% by 2030**. We know this will not happen overnight for a company of our size, but we are committed to achieving this goal.
These ambitions are not new to us. We’ve been working towards them for many years, especially by improving the way we create our collections. We know that the biggest impact takes place in relation to raw materials and production, which is why we work closely with our suppliers to identify better solutions in the manufacturing process.
To reduce our impact on the environment, we’re focusing our climate work in three key areas, outlined below.
