Since committing two years ago to a purpose-driven business model that embraces social and environmental sustainability, French fashion house Chloé has published its first sustainability report.
The fashion house reports in its first sustainability report that it has met or exceeded 18 of its 20 goals for 2021. This includes becoming a B-Corp certified company, sourcing 59 percent lower impact products on average in each ready-to-wear collection, 13 percent fair trade sourcing and a 19 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per product.
In 2021, Chloé volunteered 800 hours, donated 0.26 percent of revenue to gender equality initiatives, and ensured that all of its employees have a sustainability-related goal in their performance plans.
Commenting on the results, Riccardo Bellini, President, CEO, Chloé, stated “We are proud of this progress but we are aware that the path ahead is long and many areas still need improvement.This year’s positive progress is what pushes us to set even stronger ambitions for the year ahead, and challenge ourselves even more to harness creativity, craft and savoir-faire so that Chloé continues to be a purposeful force for positive change.”
The French label also announced earlier this year that it was developing the industry’s first social impact measuring tool that will measure, evaluate and visualise social impact to help guide decision-making when it comes to sourcing strategy and product design.
