Apparel Group opened 26 stores in March
Regional retail conglomerate Apparel Group has announced new initiatives to further accelerate its sustainability agenda and march towards net zero.
In a recent move, Apparel Group signed a pledge with the UAE government for the race to net zero by 2050. Additionally, they have joined the UACA alliance to leverage peer knowledge and best practices. The company’s goal is to conduct a full Carbon Accounting of its operations, which will establish a baseline and submit targets to SBTi. The Carbon Accounting exercise will enable the company to put in place the proper reduction measures and design its net zero journey.
Meanwhile the company is continuing its efforts and currently working on various projects to become more energy-efficient, tackle the water issue and embrace circular economy practices.
“We are committed to ensuring that our operations align with our values and contribute to a better future for all. Our focus on sustainability will enable us to reduce our carbon footprint and design a net zero journey. We are excited about this new chapter in our company’s history and look forward to sharing our progress,” said Neeraj Teckchandani, CEO of Apparel Group.
