This program reduces raw material impact and highlights its ambitious Life-cycle Assessments (LCAs) project to develop verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD®s) assessing the impact of all the products in its portfolio. The company also presented its first Sustainability Impact Report, which sets bold targets and provides a detailed overview of the company’s work within the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and ILO standard frameworks. These were also a central theme of the conference, focusing on Science Based Target initiatives and the crucial role of embedding these into business strategy. As outlined in the plenary session led by La Rhea Pepper, CEO and co-Founder of Textile Exchange, we are at the pivotal ‘Decade to Change’.

“Ambitious targets, positive collaboration and a forward-thinking vision will be the levers that set the pace of the fashion industry of tomorrow. It has never been more apparent that the time is now to create the change we would like to see in the coming years. The work we do in our operations is always aimed at enabling best practice and driving forward thinking. We are proud to be a trusted partner and member of the Textile Exchange and support their agenda towards a more sustainable and responsible fashion industry,” said Ebru Ozkucuk Guler, ISKO Senior CSR & Sustainability Executive.
