For more than 65 years, Lindex has been a fashion company on a journey. In recent years, the journey is happening with an increasing sense of urgency. Climate change, social inequalities and the growing population has crystallised our road and what it takes to walk on it. We are far from perfect, but we are also far from finished.
The woman is everything to us. Women are not only the ones who love to wear our garments – they populate every part of our value chain, from field to fitting room.Of course, we also have many men in our value chain. They are just as an important part of Lindex and in everything we do to reach for our higher purpose – to inspire and empower women everywhere.
Read our entire promiseEverything we do, we do for our customers. We have a responsibility to contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, for our customers, for society and for our business today and tomorrow. And if we truly want to empower and inspire women everywhere, we cannot settle with doing good today. We need to look ahead and work for what matters both today and tomorrow. For us to better fulfil our higher purpose, we have made a promise – to make a difference for future generations. Our promise is divided into three areas.
To fulfil our purpose, we must address everything from labour conditions in our supply chain, gender inclusive workplaces in our operations to how we use our business power to improve female health. But that is only a part of the puzzle. We must go a step further and ask, what does it take – as a woman in today’s world - to be able to feel empowered and inspired? Other needs come first: you can’t fulfil your potential without access to clean water, food, shelter and safety. These basic needs rely on functioning natural ecosystems. If our world’s climate warms beyond the limit of 1.5 degrees, it will become a world without enough clean water and food; a world of social unrest and conflict. In this way, our higher purpose pushes us to do more to drive circularity in the fashion industry and limit climate change.
With our sustainability promise we are raising the bar for ourselves. In some areas, we have already set things in motion and the roadmap is clear. In other areas, we know what we need to achieve but have not figured out how yet. Along the way and as we progress, we will move our targets forward to make sure we keep our promise. But even if we don’t have all the answers yet, we know that transparency, dedication and above all – collaboration – will get us where we need to be.
Now is the time to run every decision we make through the filter of future generations and together create the new normal: a fashion industry that is climate neutral, empowering, circular and truly sustainable. We invite everyone to be part of our journey and make a difference for future generations.
