Levi Strauss is getting serious about sustainability. The American
heritage denim brand has partnered with International Finance
Corporation (IFC) on a 2.3 million dollar cooperation agreement to
meet corporate objectives regarding reducing greenhouse gas emissions
and water usage.
According to a company statement, Levi Strauss has set
science-based targets for itself. The company intends to achieve a 90
percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and use 100 percent
renewable energy throughout its facilities, as well as reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent throughout its global supply
chain by 2025.
“At Levi Strauss & Co., we’re not just about making great clothes —
we’re about making great clothes in a sustainable way,” the statement
reads. “By doing what’s right for the planet, we create a business
that’s as durable as the products we make.”
IFC will help Levi Strauss to meet its goals through working with
42 suppliers and mills, implementing renewable energy and
water-reducing tactics.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with the IFC to help achieve our
science-based climate targets and benefit our vendors and their
communities,” Levi’s executive vice president, global product and
supply chain, Liz O’Neill, said. “We hope this program can also
benefit others in the apparel industry and help reduce our collective
footprint.”
