The LYCRA Company Apparel Planet Agenda
In 2008, The LYCRA Company Apparel & Advanced Textiles launched Planet Agenda to communicate its environmental, health, safety and community commitments.
Planet Agenda also sets out the three sustainability ambitions:
- MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE - Minimizing The LYCRA Company's environmental footprint by conserving resources, reducing emissions and eliminating waste at its manufacturing plants,
- PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY - Offering competitive products that meet the needs of the apparel markets using fewer resources and to enhance the environmental performance of all fabrics,
- CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY - Protecting the health and safety of our workers and communities and participating in local stewardship initiatives.
