A,
You just scored a major victory! After years of fighting the dirty denim industry, we just scored a major win: Levi’s announced it will reduce 40% of its greenhouse gas emissions throughout its supply chain by 2025.
This news is huge. For too long, garment companies have ignored the environmental impact of their massive supply chains and overseas factories. Levi’s announcement to reduce emissions across its entire supply chain just set a new standard for the entire fashion industry!
Together with our partners at Stand.earth, you signed petitions, mobilized shareholders, called CEOs—even danced in the streets outside Levi’s stores. Now, your hard work to hold the denim industry accountable for its environmental impact has paid off.
Spread the good news about your people-powered win by sharing this image on Facebook.
Clothes manufacturing alone... generated about 3% of the world’s CO2 emissions in 2011—the equivalent of putting 163 million new cars on the road. And for too long, Levi’s and other industry leaders have hidden behind fake climate promises that focus only on their direct operations.
For Levi’s, that meant ignoring the 99% of its climate impact produced through its supply chain. Which is why Levi’s new commitment has the power to reshape the industry and make brands think twice about putting profits before the planet.
Now that Levi’s has set a bold goal to cut its greenhouse gas emissions, it’s time for other brands like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger to follow suit. But we can’t do it without your help.
Can you chip in $3 to help keep the fight against carbon emissions going?
Thanks for all that you do,
Reem, Mark and the team at SumOfUs
