Garment brand announces zero emission guidelines for toxic chemicals

Some of the world’s leading brands and retailers form a team to announce joint guidelines that outline the steps to be taken to achieve a global zero emission goal for toxic chemicals in the supply chain in 2020.

Adidas Group, C&A, H&M, Li Ning, Nike Inc and Puma jointly announced the plan to plan new environmental standards for the global apparel and footwear industry. They also appealed to the world's peers in the clothing and footwear industry to join the ranks.

The plan includes specific commitments and timetables for accomplishing the goals, such as the implementation of pilot programs in large vertical integration and fabric suppliers from 2011 to 2013 to understand the scope of emissions and use of toxic chemicals.

They also tried to verify the toxic chemicals that are currently unused at the nine levels. A survey will be conducted before the end of 2012 to examine the chemicals used in all garment manufacturing processes.

Other steps include publicizing the experimental and research results of the project, regularly reporting public progress, quarterly reporting in 2012, and once a year from 2013 to 2020.

Their first step will be to ask Sustainability consultants to seek feedback from a group of key stakeholders within the next six weeks. In addition, they will accept public comments until 12/31. In 2012, the guidelines were revised based on the feedback information.
