SEATTLE – As many as 86 new companies, including ASOS, Selfridges and Holt Renfrew, have become signatories to the Climate Pledge, in a commitment to achieving net-zero carbon status by 2040.
Founded by e-commerce giant Amazon and the Global Optimism initiative, the pledge tasks firms with eliminating their carbon emissions 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement’s deadline.
“Climate change is the defining challenge of our time,” said Nick Beighton, ASOS CEO. “Businesses must take bold and decisive action to find solutions to the unfolding crisis, both individually and collectively, which is why ASOS is proud to stand with Amazon, Global Optimism, and the other signatories of the Climate Pledge.”
