New Look Retailers Sustainability Commitments
2030
Cut emissions by 42%
New Look has a near-term climate target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, and to cut absolute Scope 3 emissions by the same amount in the same period. This is part of its SBTi-approved climate plan.
2040
Reach net zero by 2040
The company says it aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2040 and Scope 3 emissions by 90% by 2040, with the overall goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.
2040
Be climate-positive by 2040
New Look also says it wants to be climate-positive by 2040. In plain terms, that means it is aiming to go beyond cutting emissions and have a net positive climate effect, although the source does not give a detailed public method for how that will be measured.
2030
Raise recycled content
The brand says it will increase traceable and recycled cotton and raise the minimum recycled content in synthetics to 30% from 25%. This is meant to lower the impact of its products over time.
2030
Lower product water use
Through Textiles 2030, New Look is working toward a 30% cut in the water footprint of new products sold by 2030, using a 2021 baseline. Textiles 2030 is a UK industry programme run by WRAP that helps fashion and textile companies reduce waste and environmental impact.
2030
Lower product emissions
New Look is also working toward a 50% cut in the greenhouse gas footprint of new products sold by 2030, using a 2021 baseline, through Textiles 2030 and WRAP. This target focuses on the impact of products before and during sale, not just the company’s own buildings.
