Dear Fashion: Let’s Step Up and Get Aligned
In a recent opinion editorial with WWD, CEO Colin Browne argues fashion needs to take more serious and coordinated action on sustainability. Read the highlights here!
Jeremy Lardeau, senior vice president of Higg Index at Cascale, moderated a sustainability stakeholder dialogue at PUMA HQ in Herzogenaurach, Germany, part of a two-day event in which stakeholders converged to discuss the Sustainability Vision 2030 platform for PUMA, which has been a highly committed Cascale member since 2012.
At a panel that included Mike Burgass, co-founder and director at Biodiversity, Jeremy He, sustainability development director at Shenzhou International Group, Lindita Xhaveri-Salihu, business engagement lead at UN Climate Change, and Aishwarya Sharma, representative voice of a RE:GENERATION, Lardeau steered a discussion of critical goals for climate and biodiversity.
The panel discussed PUMA’s 2030 goals, which cover a wide range of sustainability targets including human rights, climate, and circularity, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Lardeau drew parallels between Cascale’s mission and vision and PUMA’s ambitious 10FOR25 targets. He also pointed out shared values of collaboration and collective action across the consumer goods industry, with notable alignment between PUMA and the ZDHC Foundation.
On August 14, Cascale will publish a white paper for its members that articulates exactly how the Higg Brand and Retail Module (Higg BRM) can assist brands and retailers in fulfilling their reporting requirements under the European Union’s (EU) Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
In the second quarter of 2024, Cascale was pleased to welcome 3 new members to its global membership community.
Members of Cascale’s global community gathered for regional events across Southern Europe, DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), Hong Kong, and Shanghai.
