H&M Group

“Why should customers shop at H&M? What do we want customers to feel in our stores? How do we define our leadership going forward?”     These were some of the questions discussed during our annual Leader Sessions in Stockholm, where more than 400 leaders from across our business came together a day of inspiring working sessions and alignment on strategy.    Our CEO led the conversations with transparency, clarity and ambition. Together, we aligned around the belief that lasting progress comes from staying customer-first and empowering our people to deliver across every market and every part of the business.    “We believe the most important insights are found closest to the customer. By empowering our markets and teams, we can turn strategy into experiences people actually notice”, says Daniel Ervér, CEO, H&M Group.    This shared energy now carries us forward as we shape the next chapter for H&M.    #HM #HMGroup

Congratulations to this year’s ten winners, each receiving EUR 200,000 for their bold ideas, that hold the potential to reshape fashion. #GlobalChangeAward #HMFoundation #HMGroup

Industry appeal to policymakers: Fix the economics for resale.   H&M Group are proud to be among 69 fashion industry organisations endorsing a business statement, convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, calling for policy changes to incentivise scaling of circular business models, such as resale and repair.   The industry recognise that policy change for resale and repair can drive economic resilience, create job opportunities and keep products in circulation for a longer time. Yet today, these models are held back by a system that makes it easier (and more profitable) to produce new items than to keep existing ones in use.    “If governments are serious about circularity, they need to act by removing double taxation, reducing labour costs, and removing other barriers that hold resale back. Fixing the economics of resale is one of the fastest and most concrete ways to scale circularity in fashion”, says Leyla Ertur, Chief Sustainability Officer at H&M Group.   To scale these models, we need targeted policy action.    Read the full business statement: https://lnkd.in/et4cVnky   #HM #EllenMacArthurFoundation #TheFashionReModel

Meaningful conversations and shared commitment continue to drive real change. Through inspiring panel talks, insightful debates and discussions in Stockholm — coinciding with the launch of our Annual and Sustainability Report — our H&M Group experts showcased our remarkable results in 2025 and our plans for the year ahead.  We made strong progress against our ambitious sustainability agenda last year and recognise measurable outcomes, staying on track to reach our 2030 climate targets. Highlights include lowering CO₂ emissions, increasing the use of recycled materials, freshwater reduction and chemical management.  Thanks to supplier representative Anant Ahuja from Shahi Exports, who joined our panel and to the H&M Foundation who gave a presentation on their ongoing philanthropic initiatives such as the Global Change Award.

We're making real progress when it comes to lowering our freshwater consumption for manufacturing our products.   At H&M Group, we reduced our usage of this finite resource by nearly 23 percent in 2025 compared with a 2022 baseline, well surpassing our target of a 10 percent reduction for that period, and staying firmly on track for an ambitious 30 percent reduction by 2030.   “When business and sustainability go hand in hand, we show that fashion can be both affordable and have a lower environmental impact”, says Daniel Ervér, CEO, H&M Group.   Read the full Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 here: https://lnkd.in/d-yu4fjv   #HM #Sustainability #ClimateImpact #WaterImpact

The fashion industry has a major opportunity to cut emissions while building more resilient businesses and support stronger financial performance across the value chain.   Together with EY, Apparel Impact Institute, and HSBC, we released a white paper that explains why fashion companies should accelerate decarbonisation in their supply chains.   The white paper shares insights, solutions, and best practices on how fashion brands can create business value through climate investments and why collaboration and new financing models are essential to scale real impact.   Read the full white paper here: https://lnkd.in/dUSx5V9v   #HMGroup #Decarbonisation #Sustainablefinance
