As we take a moment to reflect on the past year, we find ourselves filled with appreciation for the great relationships with our clients, our hardworking teams and the remarkable achievements we have collectively attained. This year, our sustainability consultancy achieved key milestones, including the establishment of our offices in Vietnam, Turkey and India, obtaining approval from APSCA, and reaching leader-level status within the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC). We are also proud to announce our approval from the Manufacturers Climate Action Program (MCAP) of SAC and the ZDHC for in-check verifications.
This year, we’ve been dedicated to supporting our clients through various services, including carbon footprinting, GHG verifications, energy audits, and improvement programs. We’ve also assisted with Higg FEM, SLCP, BRM verifications, materiality assessments, country risk assessments, strategy projects, reporting, chemicals management programs and auditing, supply chain management, circular economy initiatives, waste traceability, and provided ZDHC and Higg FEM trainings.
One of our most proud efforts was collaborating with the BSI Equestrian Sports specialist group on a pioneering project, conducting a materiality assessment to future-proof and prepare companies in the equestrian sector for the challenges of the EU Green Deal.
We are filled with gratitude for the opportunities we’ve had to make a positive impact in the world. In 2023, our commitment to corporate social responsibility took us to different corners of the globe, where we proudly supported causes near and dear to our hearts. We partnered with Save the Children to contribute to the well-being and education of children in need. Our hearts went out to those affected by the earthquake in Turkey, and we extended a helping hand to aid in the recovery efforts. In Morocco, we collaborated with UNICEF to support initiatives that promote the health and welfare of children. Additionally, when floods devastated communities in Libya, we donated to provide assistance and support in rebuilding lives. These experiences have reinforced our belief in the power of collective action and the positive change that can arise when we come together to support those in need.
Season’s greetings from Leadership & Sustainability! Wishing you and your loved ones joy, health, and safety during the winter celebrations. May the upcoming New Year 2024 bring moments of satisfaction, success, and confidence for a more sustainable future. Thank you for being part of our journey. Happy Holidays and a Joyous New Year to all of you!
Best regards,
Karin and the L&S team
