Sustainability starts long before a product reaches the shop floor. That's why we recently co-hosted an InConnect event with ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, a global initiative that helps the fashion industry reduce the use of hazardous chemicals and improve environmental and worker safety standards across supply chains. Over two days, we brought together partners from across our supply chain to share knowledge, discuss challenges and learn from best practices in safer chemical management. As part of the exchange, we also shared our long-term ZDHC strategy within our BE PART agenda and discussed how we can drive progress together. "We want our suppliers to have the knowledge and tools to turn sustainability commitments into measurable action. By bringing partners together, we're taking responsibility where it truly counts and helping drive safer practices across our global supply chain." – Linda Bauer, Sustainability Manager Because meaningful change doesn't stop with our direct suppliers – it requires collaboration across the entire value chain. Thank you to ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme and all participating partners for the valuable exchange.
