Swedish Fashion chain, Kappahl, recently published its 2021 sustainability report, in which the company claims to reduce its carbon footprint to half by 2030. This covers the entire chain, from the design stage through production to the user phase. It includes switching to renewable energy in production processes, offering circular, sustainable solutions, and choosing markets for which air freight is not required. Kappahl also revised its code of conduct, sustainability commitment, in 2021. The responsibilities and obligations of the entire supply chain under the code ensure that human rights are respected and that climate change issues are considered at every stage. This applies to Kappahl, its suppliers and their subcontractors.

We will achieve our financial growth targets and our carbon emissions will decrease each year. It is therefore pleasing that we achieved a record sales performance and a reduction in emissions in 2021,” Sandra Roos, vice president sustainability, Kappahl said in a release. In 2021, Kappahl launched initiatives with both Hyber for Newbie and Hack Your Closet for women’s clothing, with an aim to increase the life cycle of garments by renting them out. “Looking ahead, successful companies will also have to be sustainable. We need to have a profitable business model, with fewer garments in circulation, and be able to offer longer lasting clothing with circular, sustainable solutions,” said Kappahl’s CEO Elisabeth Peregi. According to the report, Kappahl signed the international accord for health and safety in the textile and garment industry, which requires companies to take responsibility for the conditions of garment workers and only to work with approved factories.
