Leading Spanish fashion brand Mango has put the spotlight on its employees to launch the new sustainability campaign wherein the company’s own employees explain how, in their work roles, they are working towards a more sustainable fashion future. With the campaign, Mango is giving visibility to specific stories of their employees and their daily routines.

The stars of the campaign include Jordina and Marta, outerwear designer and buyer at Mango. They have driven change by replacing the traditional filling of anoraks with recycled polyester fibres similar to raw cotton sourced from recycled plastic bottles. For his part, David, head merchandiser at Mango Man, said how it was possible for all the men's tailored coats to be produced using recycled wool fibres from sweaters.

On the other hand, María, a knitwear buyer, explained that the materials used to make knitwear garments come from cellulose fibres of traceable and controlled origin. Finally, Sarah, a designer for the kids and teen lines, presented the cut and sewn capsule for children and teenagers created from textile remnants.

"This year we have made significant progress towards the goals established in Mango’s sustainability strategy. We are very happy with the route we are taking in collaboration with many other teams in the company. Their direct involvement and effort are making the results very positive and focused on the transformative change demanded by the industry and our responsibility as a company,” said Beatriz Bayo, Mango’s CSR director.

Mango continues to advance in sustainability, one of its strategic pillars. Key advances this year include the elimination of plastic, which is being replaced with paper and other materials with a lower environmental impact, as well as the progress made in the traceability and transparency of the value chain, with the publication of the level two factories, in addition to the level 1 factories that were published in 2020, the company said in a media release.

The Mango Committed collection, which includes all the garments from the different Mango lines with sustainable characteristics, has evolved to become a permanent collection of the firm. About 75 per cent of Mango garments now form part of the Committed collection and the company expects the figure to reach 100 per cent by 2022. The use of sustainable fibres and processes makes it possible to reduce its impact on the environment and make fashion more sustainable in the future.
