Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030 has engaged the key actors of the Swiss textile and apparel sector in a multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop common sustainability targets for 2030. Building on an initial mapping, these targets and precise measures to reach them were defined by May 2021. Additionally, STS 2030 stimulates sustainable supply and demand by transferring knowledge on sustainable textile production and consumption.
Sustainable Textiles Switzerland is a multi-stakeholder program with the mission to contribute significantly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Swiss textile and clothing sector along the entire value chain.
The targets of Sustainable Textiles Switzerland is as followed:
• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 50%.
• Promotion of fair wages and taking immediate and effective action to end forced labor, child labor and sexual harassment
• Protection of biodiversity and promotion of innovative business models
• Transparency to ensure that sustainable purchasing decisions can be made
The transparency includes that 90% of the Swiss textile and clothing sector disclose social and environmental sustainability information about their strategy, actions and achievements and contribute to awareness raising by 2030.
