Mango is continuing its efforts toward sustainability and bringing forward its sustainability targets after achieving that 80 percent of all the garments it sells now bear the Committed name. In just one year, Mango has almost doubled its total production percentage of sustainable garments. In 2021 Mango achieved 91% use of sustainable cotton and a 59% use of cellulose fibers of controlled origin.
Furthermore, 54% Â of the polyester used was recycled, achieving the initial target four years ahead of time.
Mango makes its commitment to sustainable fashion visible through the Committed label, which includes all Mango garments with a lower environmental impact. In recent years, the company has made a significant effort to increase the number of sustainable garments, which in 2021 accounted for 80% of the total collection, well above the 45% figure for 2020. Committed garments are all those which contain at least 30% of more sustainable fibers (such as organic cotton, recycled cotton, BCI cotton, recycled polyester, recycled wool, or Tencel) and have been manufactured using more sustainable production processes. Mango’s goal is that all its garments will be Committed by 2022.
In its commitment to sustainability in all areas of influence and as part of its Sustainability Plan, Mango has also signed up to the Canopy Style initiative, which is committed to protecting forests by ensuring the responsible use of all cellulose materials used in garments, paper, and packaging. Consequently, these products will have international certification to prevent illegal logging and the destruction of ecosystems. They will also promote alternative, low-impact sources of fiber, such as recycled textiles and agricultural waste.
Finally, in its commitment to the value chain and transparency, Mango published a new list of factories in its global supply chain in December.
As well as updating the list of Tier 1 factories it published in 2020, Mango has included for the first time the list of Tier 2 factories related to production processes.
Thus, Mango is working for the betterment of the planet and textile supply chain.
