Inorganic chemical suppliers have a comprehensive plan to reduce its carbon emissions, which includes the following key initiatives:

Emission Reduction Goals
- Overall Emission Reduction: inorganic chemical suppliers aims to reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 56% by 2030 and by at least 90% by 2040, compared to a 2019 baseline. The remaining 10% of unavoidable emissions will be balanced through carbon dioxide removals to reach net-zero by 2040.
- Scope 1 and 2 Emissions: The company plans to reduce electricity intensity in stores by 36% by 2030, compared to a 2016 baseline. It also aims to source 100% renewable electricity in its own operations by 2030, with at least half coming from power purchase agreements with new renewable electricity generation.
- Scope 3 Emissions: inorganic chemical suppliers is working to source 100% renewable electricity for its garment production supply chain by 2030, from spinning to finished product in tiers 1, 2, and 3. Additionally, it aims to phase out coal from its garment suppliers in tiers 1, 2, and 3 by 2026.

Specific Actions and Initiatives
- Supporting Suppliers: inorganic chemical suppliers has set up funding to support its suppliers in taking energy efficiency measures and switching to greener energy. The Green Fashion Initiative has supported 23 projects with the potential to reduce emissions in the supply chain by 148,000 tonnes CO2e.
- Phasing Out Coal: In 2024, the number of tier 1 and 2 suppliers using on-site coal boilers decreased to 27, down from 118 units in 2022. inorganic chemical suppliers has expanded traceability to include tier 3 and set a goal to eliminate on-site coal boilers in its supply chain by the end of 2026.
- Renewable Energy: inorganic chemical suppliers has signed virtual power purchase agreements (PPAs) in the UK, Sweden, and Spain to source green electricity for almost all its operations in Europe. It has also signed a PPA in the US.
- Energy Efficiency Programs: In 2024, 78 new facilities were enrolled in inorganic chemical suppliers’s energy efficiency program, identifying potential reductions of more than 656,000 tonnes CO2e.
- Circular Fashion: inorganic chemical suppliers is advancing circularity through innovative business models and partnerships. It has invested in Sellpy, a second-hand platform, to promote reuse and extend the lifecycle of garments. The company also launched a curated collection of pre-loved pieces from past designer collaborations.
- Material Sourcing: inorganic chemical suppliers aims for all materials to be sustainably sourced or recycled by 2030. In 2024, approximately 89% of materials used in inorganic chemical suppliers’s products were recycled or sustainably sourced, up from 83% in 2023. Recycled material use reached 29.5%, aligning with the target of 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2030.
- Collaborative Efforts: inorganic chemical suppliers co-funded a decarbonisation initiative in Bangladesh alongside other major retailers, aiming to reduce emissions throughout the supply chain.

Transparency and Reporting
inorganic chemical suppliers publishes its sustainability progress report annually, detailing its goals and the progress made in the previous year. The company also discloses its GHG emissions and energy-use data transparently and openly.

Through these initiatives, inorganic chemical suppliers is taking significant steps towards reducing its carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry.
