Crystal International has a goal of reducing 30% aggregate carbon emissions by 2030 and says the expansion of renewable energy is its strategy towards decarbonisation.
In addition to the existing rooftop solar photovoltaic system of Crystal International’s intimate factory in Vietnam with 600 kW capacity, two more factories in Vietnam, the sportswear factory and the lifestyle wear factory, have newly installed the rooftop solar photovoltaic systems at its advanced factory buildings this year, with a total capacity of 3,600 kW, which can generate 31-68% of energy consumption of those factory buildings and result in around 10% carbon reduction annually.

The company is carrying out a feasibility study currently into the installation of on-site rooftop photovoltaic systems at other factories in Vietnam and Cambodia and says it will progressively install the on-site solar photovoltaic system in all factories that are operationally viable.
A lifestyle wear factory in China will start the installation next year with an aim of completion in 2024 in three phases. Upon the installation, the factory can generate in total 3,600 kW of solar energy each year, amounting to 16% of the electricity consumption of the whole factory.
Catherine Chiu, general manager of Corporate Quality & Sustainability Department, said: “We see the threat of climate change and climate action to be our staunch focus in the coming years. By developing a long-term decarbonisation strategy comprising renewable energy, energy efficiency and appropriate offsetting in our operating countries, we hope to massively cut carbon emissions and help to mitigate climate change”.
This summer (2021), Crystal International unveiled its new Jeans Redesign Collection featuring denim made from 98% organic cotton, mushroom-derived finishing, and no rivets, which means the denim is 100% recyclable.
