Samsung C&T Fashion, Commitment to Sustainable Business Practices Pledge

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Samsung C&T Fashion Division (Division Head Park Cheol-gyu) announced on the 2nd that it has decided to share and implement common principles related to human rights and environmental protection with 99 partner companies based on its philosophy of sustainable management.

Through the pledge of practice, they committed to protecting human rights, acting as a socially responsible company, and adhering to universal values related to employment relationships, prohibition of discrimination, working hours, wages, welfare, and child and adolescent labor.

They also pledged to strive for responsible resource use and prevention of environmental pollution, and to establish a basic management system for energy and resource utilization, wastewater and waste, and chemical substance management.

Beanpole, operated by Samsung C&T Fashion Division, has continuously introduced eco-friendly products centered on ‘Be Cycle.’ At that time, they presented three new major standards for ‘Be Cycle,’ including the use of recycled materials and fillings, compliance with the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) animal welfare system, and reduction of fabrics causing environmental pollution.

This fall and winter season, they plan to launch padded jumpers made from recycled materials, urban sneakers made from recycled leather, and down products using biodegradable materials with RDS.

As part of environmental protection, Beanpole continues the ‘Bike We Like’ campaign, which collects abandoned bicycles in urban areas and delivers unique bicycles and storage facilities through upcycling.

Park Nam-young, General Manager (Executive Director) of Beanpole Business Division, said, "To leap forward as a sustainable company, we will creatively and persistently improve processes based on close collaboration with partner companies and establish them as a culture."

Meanwhile, SSF Shop, the integrated online mall of Samsung C&T Fashion Division, has been using 100% recyclable paper cushioning materials for fragile products since early this year, and utilizes delivery boxes certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an international eco-certification related to forests.
