Episode Synopsis

Today I'm talking to Dan Mejia, Head of Communications and Press at H&M in the Philippines. We talk about the 3 pillars of the H&M sustainability strategy - leading the change, circular and climate positive, and fair and equal. We go into depth about the different circular business models and how H&M's cotton supply is almost 100% responsibly sourced. We explore how H&M are changing the market by being the first to disclose supplier information. We also discuss how H&M is introducing transparency, responsibility and accountability in the value chain and rewarding suppliers with loyalty, if they are sustainable. Lastly, we also talk about how H&M contribute to decent work for young women in impoverished areas, like Payatas and Tondo, as well as donate profits to Waves for Water.
