Together with the other members, we have the chance to collectively raise concerns for the whole industry, get guidance on where to put our focus for achieving our climate goals, get support with senior leadership engagement, and the inspiration to become even better. STICA truly is a power, a fountain of knowledge and a channel for passion for change that makes a difficult area governable.” – Pernilla Johansson, Corporate Communications Manager, Björn Borg

We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint and to engaging constructively with industry peers, value chain partners, external stakeholders, and policymakers to help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. We became members of The Swedish Textiles Initiative for Climate Action (STICA) in 2020 to learn from and contribute to the collective effort of the Nordic textile industry towards climate action. Being part of STICA helps in every facet of our climate action journey, whether it is anchoring climate action in the organisation, standardizing data collection effort or reduction target setting. Regular interaction with partner consultants at STICA as well as experience sharing from member brands help us accelerate our climate action efforts significantly.” – Dipankar Bose, Global Environmental Manager, Varner

The textile industry has a major impact on the climate and with that we also have a great responsibility to work to minimize our climate footprint.” – Titti Larsén, Quality & Sustainability Manager, Stadium
