Committed to environmental sustainability
Our commitment to sustainability is based on the belief that, for our future growth, we need to actively address the challenges faced by the industry and the world in which we live. As the global climate crisis becomes a critical issue in our business activity, our sustainability priorities and areas of focus require even greater constant review as we work to set ambitious targets that allow us to achieve the commitments established in our Strategic ESG Plan as well as those that are inherent to our commitments with various initiatives.

The Fashion Pact
As part of its strategy to manage operations in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way, specific quantitative targets have been set to address the industry’s challenges regarding the fight against climate change,
protecting the oceans and biodiversity conservation. All of this is done within the framework of the Science Based
Targets (SBT) initiative.
Our firm commitment to this initiative has led us to join their Executive Committee as well as their Management Committee, actively participating in decision-making.
Business ambition for 1.5ºC
Regarding the 2019 United Nations climate change Conference (COP25), Tendam has been recognised by the United Nations Global Compact for joining the Business Ambition for 1.5ºC initiative which will set targets for reducing global temperature rise to 1.5ºC in accordance with the limit agreed upon by the scientific community to prevent the worst social and environmental impacts.
This commitment to a significant reduction of carbon for a future with net-zero emissions by 2050,
also shared by The Fashion Pact, is part of the most ambitious effort, carried out by companies that demonstrate leadership at a time of environmental, social and economic concern and uncertainty.

UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action
Tendam has joined the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, overseen by the United Nations climate change Office, to define action steps as well as to set an initial target to reduce GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 and other specific measures such as phasing out carbon sources in supply chains.
Renewable energy
The contract to supply renewable energy represents a total volumen of about 80GWh/year and covers the 800 stores that Tendam’s brands have in Spain as well as the group’s operational facilities in the country, its headquarters, and logistics centres.
100% of this energy is certified with Guarantee of Origin (GoOs) issued by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC, for its abbreviation in Spanish) during 2020.
This way, the carbon footprint will be significantly reduced as it will prevent the emission of an estimated 30,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
