Jeans giant Levi Strauss & Co has joined global sustainable fashion initiative Fashion for Good as it looks to contribute to sustainable measures on an industry-wide scale.
The denim specialist said while it has been an innovator in sustainable design and production practices for some time, it is aware it can’t work in isolation if it is to do its part to deliver solutions on an industry-wide scale or reach the ambitious goals it has set for itself.
