WASHINGTON DC – Fashion brands including Nike, Levi Strauss (LS&Co), Gap, Target and the VF Corp-owned Timberland, Vans and North Face are amongst more than 1,000 signatories of a statement to the incoming Biden administration, reaffirming their commitment to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
The now outgoing US President Donald Trump declared his intent to withdraw the US from the global agreement to take action to mitigate climate change back in 2017.
That sparked almost 4,000 companies across industry – as well as campaign groups and academic and financial institutions –to form the ‘We Are Still In’ coalition, in direct opposition to the country’s administration.
