ASOS Sustainability Commitments
2027
Use 100% renewable electricity
ASOS says it will source 100% renewable electricity across its estate by 2027. This means its offices and fulfilment centres would run on renewable power rather than standard grid electricity. The company says this is part of its wider climate plan and sits alongside its work with RE100, the business group for companies that commit to renewable electricity use.
2026
Raise recycled packaging content
By FY26, ASOS says it will increase recycled content in plastic mailing and garment bags to at least 95%. It also says it will keep testing new packaging materials, including reusable and paper mailing bags, and reduce packaging use where it can. This is meant to lower waste and prepare for possible rules on single-use plastics and packaging fees.
2027
Train own-brand manufacturers
By FY27, ASOS says it will launch a phased training programme for manufacturers of its own-brand and label clothing on its Circular Design Strategies. The company says the training will start with suppliers it sees as highest priority. The goal is to help suppliers design products in ways that support circularity, which means keeping materials in use for longer and reducing waste.
2030
Use more sustainable materials
ASOS says that by 2030 all of its own-brand products will use more sustainable or recycled materials. It also says it will keep setting yearly targets for the share of materials it wants to improve and report back on progress. The company says this is important because raw materials make up a large share of a product’s environmental impact.
2030
Cut Scope 3 emissions
ASOS says it will reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transport and distribution by 42% by FY30. Scope 3 means the emissions that come from the wider supply chain, which is where ASOS says almost all of its emissions sit. The company says this will require supplier action, better energy use, and more sustainable raw materials.
2030
Reach net zero by 2050
ASOS says it will reach net zero across its full value chain by 2050, with a 90% cut in absolute emissions from its FY22 baseline. It says it will not use carbon offsets or removals to meet that 90% cut until FY50, when it plans to neutralise the small amount of remaining emissions. Net zero means cutting emissions as far as possible and balancing the rest at the end.
