Condé Nast, the media company behind the titles Vogue, Glamour, Vanity
Fair and Allure, has announced its intention to eliminate the use of
non-recyclable plastics by 2025, as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation
New Plastics Economy Global Commitment. The publisher has also joined the
UN Fashion Chater for Climate Action.
In addition to these commitments, Condé Nast also pledged to use its
magazines, which combined reach more than one billion people around the
world, to raise awareness about climate change and how important it is for
the fashion industry to take action. The titles will promote the re-use of
clothes, sustainable fashion, innovative materials and technologies.
“We have a responsibility to use the power of those brands to help raise
awareness, define terms of change, and point to solutions to ensure our
audiences and our industry are informed and engaged in taking climate
action,” said Roger Lynch, CEO of Condé Nast, in a statement.
Wolfgang Blau, global Chief Operating Officer and President of Condé
Nast International, added: “fashion has always reflected the big changes in
society and been part of the cultural discourse. It is that timeliness that
makes fashion so influential. Today, it is the duty of designers, textile
manufacturers, fashion houses and fashion journalists to completely
re-imagine, re-design and re-engineer how we make and consume fashion. As
the world’s number one fashion publisher, we commit to doing our very best
in championing these positive efforts. We absolutely must reach the Paris
climate goals.”
The company began phasing out non-recyclable plastic this year, and
seeks to eliminate its use altogether for all its US publications next
year. 2020 will also see Condé Nast unveiling a global sustainability plan
which will include targets for greenhouse gas emissions.
