Mango signed the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter, specifically, in the fight against climate change. The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Change, which sets out 16 principles so that the fashion industry can work together to reduce its impact on climate change. These principles focused on fighting climate change, aim to reduce greenhouse gases in its facilities, the supply chain and logistics, among others.
Mango is celebrating the first anniversary of signing up to the Fashion Pact, a year in which the firm has made progress in the sustainable goals it has set itself. The use of sustainable fibres and the reduced use of plastic are two of the company’s priorities. During this first year, as well as establishing some common bases to make joint progress, the Fashion Pact is dedicating its efforts to working on two of its three pillars: fighting against climate change and protecting the oceans.
The United Nations Fashion Industry Charter includes the goal to reduce greenhouse gases by 30% by 2030. Consequently, Mango is conducting a detailed study of its carbon footprint, which will allow it to establish specific Science-Based Targets (SBTs) throughout 2021 and draft the corresponding plan to reduce its emissions.
Mango also plans to increase the use recycled polyester in its garments, aiming to increase its use to 50% by 2025, and for 100% of the cellulose fibres used to be of controlled origin by 2030.
