Acne Studios Sustainability Actions

Published FY 2024/2025 report

Acne Studios says it has a sustainability report for FY 2024/2025. It also says its sustainability work is guided by a Creative Manifesto and nine key sustainability targets. This shows the brand has a formal structure for its ESG work, rather than treating it as a side project. The report itself is offered as a download on the company site, which suggests the brand is trying to document progress and goals in one place.

Set supplier standards

The brand says every partner it works with must meet minimum environmental and social standards. It also says 40% of its order value was placed with suppliers that met its highest sustainability evaluations in FY 24/25. In plain terms, that means it is using supplier checks to decide where to place orders. The company also says 97% of suppliers described it as a reliable business partner in its latest survey.

Held a supplier forum

Acne Studios says it hosted a two-day supplier forum at its Stockholm headquarters. Around 100 people from its European supplier network took part. The sessions covered topics such as climate action and renewable energy, which means energy from sources that can be replaced naturally, like wind or solar. The forum was meant to support learning and open discussion across the supply chain.

Uses industry networks

The company says it works with multi-stakeholder groups to stay up to date on sustainability research and innovation. It names Textile Exchange, Leather Working Group, Fair Wear, and the Swedish Textile Initiative for Climate Action as examples of its memberships and networks. These groups are used in fashion to share standards, improve sourcing, and push for better environmental and labour practices.

Recycles textile offcuts

Good On You says Acne Studios recycles most of its offcuts to reduce textile waste. Offcuts are the leftover pieces of fabric that remain after cutting garments. Reusing them can keep material out of landfill and lower waste in production. This is one of the clearer environmental actions mentioned in the independent rating.

Uses some certified materials

Good On You says the brand uses some eco-friendly materials, including organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown under rules that limit synthetic pesticides and fertilisers. The same source also says some of the brand’s supply chain is certified by Fair Wear Foundation, a group that checks labour practices in clothing supply chains. These steps suggest some progress, even if they do not cover the whole business.
