Levi’s Sustainability Actions

Set a climate transition plan

Levi’s published a climate transition plan that lays out how it plans to cut emissions across its business and supply chain. The plan includes near-term steps such as cutting direct emissions, using renewable electricity in company-run sites, and reducing water use in high-stress areas. The company says the plan follows climate reporting frameworks such as TCFD (a guide for climate-risk reporting) and uses input from outside groups and investors. This shows Levi’s is trying to turn its climate goals into a more detailed action plan.

Updated its sustainability strategy

In 2021, Levi’s updated its sustainability strategy around three pillars: climate, consumption, and community. The company says the strategy includes 16 goals and is meant to link sustainability with business planning. It says the goals cover lower greenhouse gas emissions, better water stewardship, circular economy work, worker well-being, diversity, equity and inclusion, and support for social issues. This is a broad framework rather than one single project, and it shows how Levi’s organizes its sustainability work.

Built worker well-being programs

Levi’s says it created a Worker Well-being initiative more than a decade ago to support financial empowerment, safety, health, and gender equality for workers in its supply chain. It also says it offers employee programs and resources that build skills and inclusion. This matters because clothing workers often face low pay, unsafe conditions, and little support. Levi’s presents this as part of its wider community work, alongside supplier standards and other workplace programs.

Published ESG reporting indices

Levi’s publishes ESG reporting indices that link its disclosures to frameworks such as SASB (industry reporting standards), GRI (global sustainability reporting rules), UN Global Compact, UN SDGs, TCFD, and Higg Brand & Retail Module scores. These indices help readers find where the company reports on climate, labor, and other ESG topics. Publishing this kind of index does not prove good performance by itself, but it does make the company’s reporting easier to check.

Shared supplier support tools

Levi’s says it works with suppliers through technical help, energy audits, capability building, and target-setting support. It also says it has supplier financing programs with partners such as the International Finance Corporation and HSBC, so factories can access lower-cost loans if they improve energy and water efficiency. This kind of support matters because many emissions and water impacts happen in the supply chain, not in Levi’s own stores or offices.
