RELAÇÕES PÚBLICAS & MARKETING DIGITAIS

“We started to test the so called Fair Wage Method, developed by the independent Fair Wage Network, in three role model factories. Although it’s still early in the process, the initial results from the first factory that's been evaluated are promising. Based on these learnings, we aim to scale this up to all our strategic suppliers by 2018 at the latest”, says Karl-Johan Persson, CEO at H&M.

This is the 13th report published by H&M, outlining the progress of over more than 80 important Conscious Actions covering every stage of H&M’s products lifecycle – all the way from the cotton field to giving clothes that you no longer need a new life. Amongst these are several ambitious goals, including:

H&M expands its public supplier list to include 2nd tier suppliers
H&M has now taken yet another major step for increased transparency across the entire value chain; the most important mills that provide our suppliers with fabrics and yarns have been added to the public supplier list. The fact that transparency and mutual trust with suppliers is crucial and the starting point for all change, makes H&M convinced that this will promote transparency and drive further positive change in the textile industry.

H&M goes all in for renewable electricity
Tackling climate change is one of the major challenges of our time. H&M wants to lead the way by only using renewable energy wherever possible already by the end of 2015; meaning about 80% of all electricity. Today, the same number is 27%. By doing this, H&M will reduce its climate impacts – way below what climate science tells us to do.

H&M increases the amount of products made from collected garments with 300 percent
Since last year, H&M has more than doubled the amount of collected garments within the garment collective initiative. In total, more than 13,000 tonnes of textiles have been collected – that is as much fabric as in 65 million T-shirts. Now, the new goal is to increase the amount of products made of recycled fibres by at least 300% by the end of 2015.
