Acting on climate change

Climate change represents a global challenge

Fashion is one of the world's most polluting industries due to its significant greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the OTB Group has defined a Climate Plan and strategic activities aimed at reducing its impact and contribute to fight climate change

Our initiatives to fight climate change

Climate change has become a priority both for governments and companies, which are now working to tackle the related causes and effects.

For this reason, the OTB Group has defined a Climate Strategy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero and contributing to limit the rise in temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050.

Our objectives with the Science Based Target Initiative

As we committed to fight climate change, we have responded to the call to action of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), sending a commitment letter in 2021 to define targets in line with the “1.5°C scenario”. In 2023, our reduction targets have been validated.
