Gucci’s approach consists of two main strategies – “avoid and reduce” and “restore and offset.” The first one will see the brand using renewable energy, upcycling leather and fabric waste, and exchanging traditional processing techniques for their sustainable alternatives.

When it comes to the second phase of Gucci’s plan, they intend to support conservation efforts. Despite the fact they won’t fully stop producing harmful emissions, Gucci will financially compensate for the carbon it produces and they will make donations towards sustainability programs.

Gucci will present its first carbon-neutral runway at Milan Fashion Week later this month where they plan to offset travel emissions of 1.000 guests and 900 workers, including models, production staff, and Gucci employees. They’ll also use recycled wood for the set and send out Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper invites to their A-list guests in the front row.

Thrift Stores

Why spend a fortune at expensive high-end stores when you can buy a bunch of vintage (and even brand-new) pieces at your local thrift store?

Regular Donations

Don’t simply ditch the clothes you no longer need. Check if you know someone who might like them, and donate them if that’s not the case.

Second Life

Unfortunately, many charities struggle selling donated clothes, because they’re not in such great shape. If you think some of your items are completely useless, use them as dish rags and cleaning cloths instead of donating them.

Time to Recycle

If you can’t think of a way of repurposing your clothes, recycling is always an option. You can even drop them at your local H&M and receive a discount card for 15% off your next purchase.

Sustainable Brands

When you’re buying new clothes, try to support sustainable brands who embrace eco-friendly approaches in their production process.

Zara will kick off its green initiative by putting up containers where you can bring old clothes you no longer wear. They’ll be reused or recycled into new items, as part of the company’s new social and environmental commitment which aims to transform every Zara store into an eco‑friendly oasis by 2025.

According to Pablo Isla, the chief executive of Inditex, this decision was inspired by their desire “to be a force for change,” that’s shared by everyone working for this company.

“We are the ones establishing these targets: the strength and impulse for change is coming from the commercial team, the people who are working with our suppliers, the people working with fabrics. It is something that’s happening inside our company,” said Isla in an interview with The Guardian.
