2024
Set long-term net-zero target
The company said it would set a long-term net-zero target by 2024. Net-zero means balancing greenhouse gas emissions with removals so the overall total is brought to zero. The source does not show the final target details here, but it does show that the company planned to formalize the goal after already setting climate targets in earlier years.
2025
Recycle more denim water
The company said it aims to recycle 70% of the total water used in denim laundries by 2025. This is a future operational target focused on reducing fresh water demand in jeans production. It builds on earlier water-saving work already reported in its factories and laundries.
2025
Reduce water use per jean
The company set a goal to reduce water use per jean by 50% by 2025. This target focuses on the water used to make each pair of jeans, which matters because denim production can use a lot of water. The company said it had already made strong progress toward earlier water goals.
2028
Cut water footprint and plastics
The company said it will reduce its water footprint by 2028, including its own operations and partner factories and mills. It also said it will reduce virgin plastic use by 50% and total plastic footprint by 30% by 2028. Virgin plastic means new plastic made from fossil fuels rather than recycled material.
2028
Use more sustainable fibers
The company said it will source 75% of all fibers from more sustainable sources by 2028. Fibers are the raw materials used to make fabric. The target suggests a shift toward materials such as recycled or responsibly sourced cotton and other lower-impact inputs.
2030
Use renewable energy
The company said it aims to source 100% renewable energy for all owned and operated facilities by 2030. Renewable energy comes from sources that naturally refill, such as wind or solar. This target applies to facilities the company controls directly.
2030
Cut emissions and water
The company said it will reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are the greenhouse gases from a company’s own operations and purchased energy. It also said it would save 20 million additional cubic feet of water by FY26 and continue broader water reduction work.
2050
Reach net-zero emissions
The company said it is committing to net-zero emissions by 2050. Net-zero means cutting emissions as much as possible and balancing the rest with removals or offsets. The source does not give the full pathway here, but it does show a long-term climate target.
