Uniqlo Thailand, a local unit of the global casual apparel retailer, has teamed up with ReAcc Co, under national oil and gas conglomerate PTT Plc, and SCG Packaging Plc (SCGP) to create local sustainability initiatives in order to make clothes that are better for the environment.
According to the company's chief executive, Yoshitake Wakakuwa, the initiatives aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at its stores and offices by 90%, and in its supply chains by 20%, by 2030.
Through the initiatives, the company also plans to increase the proportion of recycled materials in its products to about 50%, and reduce, replace, reuse and recycle materials used in delivering clothes to customers.
