SUSTAINABILITY AT COS
Better Looks Beyond
Our commitment to creating a more sustainable world: now and in the future.
At COS, our design ethos has always put enduring style and quality first. From reaching 93% more sustainably sourced materials in our collection to the launch of circular initiatives like COS Resell and Full Circle, we have made huge progress so far. But that's not enough. We can do more. Read on to find out how we plan to create a more sustainable world for our products, stores, suppliers and customers.
OUR KEY GOALS:
By applying a science-based approach to our work, we can set the best roadmap possible to drive positive change. Together with the H&M Group, we are committed to halving greenhouse gas (GHG, CO2e) emissions by 56% by 2030**. To help us reach this goal, we focus on three key areas...
100% sustainably sourced or recycled materials by 2025.
100% recycled, reusable or compostable packing by 2025.
Reuse, repair or recycle store products and materials by
2030.
PACKAGING
Our motto is to reduce and reuse. All our new packaging is made from reusable or recycled materials.
OUR STORES
Our stores around the world are famous for their conceptual design. We are also proud that they are built with circularity at the forefront of our planning.
MATERIALS
Our design team work tirelessly to create beautiful, functional garments and accessories from materials that are more sustainable.
OUR NETWORK
Our partners drive sustainability around the world, from our dedicated suppliers to the charities we work with.
‘Better Looks Beyond is our commitment to sustainability across every part of our business. Sourcing materials is hugely important, but to deliver meaningful impact it is also essential to drive positive change in the communities we are a part of.’
— Francesca Lilley, Global Head of Sustainability
