PVH eyes 100% RE by 2030

PVH Corp., the apparel company that includes brands such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, Speedo, Warner’s and IZOD, has set a goal to source 100% renewable electricity by 2030 throughout owned-and-operated offices, distribution centers, and stores globally by 2030, with an interim goal of 50 percent renewable electricity by 2025.

The company also announced it has joined RE100 and committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). "Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world today. As a leader in the apparel industry, we believe that we have a responsibility to limit our environmental impact, support cleaner energy alternatives, and mitigate the negative impacts of greenhouse gas emissions," said Chairman and CEO Emanuel Chirico. "Joining RE100 and the Science Based Targets Initiative are important – and meaningful - steps in our ongoing sustainability journey, leading us toward a circular, low-carbon economy."

The company statement noted that corporate responsibility is a key pillar of PVH and is central to how the company conducts business, adding that there is an organization-wide emphasis on making positive impacts on people, the environment and communities, and being transparent in its efforts.
