To mark the completion of one year of Fashion Pact, fast fashion brand Mango aims to focus on protecting the industry against climate change and also protecting the oceans. Mango had signed the United Nations Fashion Industry Charter in October. The charter lays down 16 principles to reduce industry’s impact on climate change. These principles aim to reduce greenhouse gases in the industry by 30 per cent by 2030. For this, Mango is conducting a detailed study of its carbon footprint, which will allow it to establish certain Science-Based Targets (SBTs) throughout 2021 and draft the corresponding plan to reduce its emissions.

Mango also aims to increase the proportion of sustainable fibers in its collections. The brand aims to use 100 per cent sustainable cotton in its garments by 2025. The company also plans to increase the use of recycled polyester to 50 per cent and that of cellulose fibers to 100 per cent by 2030.

To protect its Oceans, Mango has recently initiated a project to replace the plastic bags in its packaging with paper bags. The project involves eliminating approximately 160 million plastic bags per year.
