To help accelerate the development of sustainable working methods and solutions in the fashion industry, Swedish fashion chain Kappahl has said that the company has now become a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC).

“We are committed to continuing to play an active role in driving the system changes that need to be made in our industry. With the SAC, we can harmonise our approaches to sustainability with other players in the industry, enabling us to pull together and make a greater difference,” said Kappahl’s CEO, Danny Feltmann in a statement.

As part of the SAC, Kappahl believes that it can work with other players in the industry - purchasers, suppliers, researchers, investors and consumers - to coordinate efforts to achieve greater transparency and better results in moving the fashion industry towards a more sustainable future. The company is in the process of developing their working methods using the SAC’s Higg Index suite of tools. The goal is to set clear standards for the entire industry to measure and assess the sustainability performance of suppliers and products.

“A harmonised approach within the industry will have a positive impact on our entire value chain and bring greater transparency to the industry. This is the route to achieving a sustainable fashion industry,” added Fredrika Klarén, Head of Sustainability at Kappahl.

SAC is an organisation working to create a sustainable fashion industry with the vision of an industry that causes no harm to the environment and has a positive impact on people and society. SAC’s Higg Index is a suite of tools designed to measure and assess the sustainability performance of suppliers and products and promote long-term sustainable improvements for factory workers, local communities and the environment.
