Climate
The textile industry accounts for around 10% of carbon emissions worldwide. As a signatory of the Fashion Pact and driven by our Durable Elegance approach, at Lacoste we have defined demanding targets to reduce our carbon footprint both on our sites and throughout our supply chain.
Our objectives
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in absolute by 2030 in our scopes 1 & 2
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by product in our scope 3 by 2030
employees trained in environmental main stakes by the end of 2024
Products
To reduce the environmental footprint of our products, we take action throughout the entire product life cycle focusing on 3 levers:
- Using preferred* raw materials
- Extending the lifespan of our products
- Finding second-life solutions for our unsold products
Our objectives
reduction in the environmental footprint by product line by 2025**
of preferred* raw materials in our textile collections by 2026
*these include raw materials that guarantee respect for animal welfare, materials made from recycled fibres and organic materials
**according to the EU Product Environmental Footprint methodology
Supply chain
From spinning to assembly, we work with our suppliers at every stage of the manufacturing process of our products. The knowledge and control of our supply chain are key to meet the strict requirements set in our Durable Elegance approach.
Our objectives
of our suppliers rated « silver* » by 2025
of our wet factories will be ZDHC** compliant with level 1 by 2025
*internal grading system to measure our suppliers economic, social and environmental performance. Our suppliers can then be graded « gold », « platinium » and « silver »
**Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals: standard to eliminate all harmful chemicals from our supply chain
