Sustainability
Our Sustainability Framework and Initiatives
10-Year Sustainability Plan
ESG issues are a key focus for the Group in its operations and strategic planning as it continuously works to integrate sustainability deeply into corporate growth. In early 2021, our Sustainability Committee set out the “10-Year Sustainability Plan” for 2021–2030, which centres on three themes: supply chain management, environmental protection and social responsibilities, emphasising the Group’s long-term commitment to sustainable development through embedding environmental and social priorities into its business model.
Aligned with China’s national climate targets to a carbon emissions peak by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, we have set ambitious targets across our value chain, from sustainable product innovation to low-carbon operations, aiming to mitigate the environmental impacts of our production and business activities for a low-carbon future.
Employee management and community investment are also core components of the plan. We ensure fair labour practices, provide safe working conditions, and offer our employees continuous training and development opportunities. Beyond our organisation, we support local communities through donations, volunteering, and fostering a culture of health and fitness. We aim to inspire positive change through promoting sports and using our platform to advocate for equity, inclusion, and diversity.
Achieving sustainability requires considering our entire supply chain. We have established stringent ESG assessment and capacity development targets within our supplier programmes. Through collaborative partnerships, we work to shape a more responsible future. Both potential and current suppliers are required to meet our environmental and social assessment criteria. We collectively advance our resilience for people and the planet by taking this rigorous approach.
We have achieved meaningful progress in our sustainability performance over the past three years through the effective implementation of our plan. As we intend to build upon these achievements and pave the way for a more sustainable future, we are refining our sustainability framework and strategy to stay aligned with emerging trends and to continuously progress in a direction that positively impacts our stakeholders and the environment over the long term. With continued commitment from all levels of the Group, we strive to deepen our sustainability commitment in the sportswear industry.
