PLANET

Beyond the now

Better choices come from thinking about our long-term impact on the planet. We look beyond our collections to a new way of living and creating that will lead us to a net-zero existence. This means reducing more emissions from the atmosphere than we create and using fewer resources in everything we do. We believe that our choices, our wardrobes and our lives can do more with less.

Our goal at H&M Group is to reduce our emissions* by 56%** by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2040.

THE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT

 

A tried-and-tested method we’re using to measure the potential environmental impact of a product throughout all its stages, from the raw materials to the finished piece.


Our process
From the bricks of our buildings to the ways we package our products, we think beyond our collections to create the innovative, the surprising and the enduring.

 

COS BUILDINGS

 

Better choices come from taking responsibility for the places we touch. We think beyond walls to reinvent the definition of our spaces and the positive impact they can make.

OUR PACKAGING

 

We’ve redesigned our packaging using fully recyclable materials. Our number one priority is reducing the volume of materials used, and we’ve already significantly decreased the amount of COS packaging you receive with each order. 


Shared responsibility
Better choices come from thinking beyond the finished piece. We know that to make our resources last longer, we have to look beyond ‘new’. That’s why we’ve introduced better solutions to empower our community to make more conscious choices when our pieces have left us.
