LYCRA Co Lowers Emissions by 13%
The LYCRA Company, a company that develops durable, sustainable and innovative fiber and technology solutions for the apparel and personal care industries, lowered its GHG emissions partly by its Maydown, Northern Ireland site, converting its purchased electricity to renewable sources through Energy Attribution Certificates (EACs).
The company reported a 13% reduction in combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 absolute GHG emissions compared to 2021.
The company’s three manufacturing sites achieved third-party verified top-quartile performance in the Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM), with two achieving the same level in the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM).
Details were published in its second annual Planet Agenda Update and its abridged Global Sustainability Scorecard for fiscal year 2022. This update tracks 2022 performance against 2030 targets.
“Planet Agenda guides our evolution as we strive to contribute to the sustainability of the apparel and personal care industries by delivering products that add value and conserve resources at all levels of the value chain,” said Steve Stewart, chief brand and innovation officer, in a statement. “We are proud of the advances we have made in pursuit of our 2030 goals. At the same time, we recognize the challenges in front of our industry are great, and we can only meet them by working together with our customers, suppliers, and third-party partners.”
