BRANDE – Danish fashion company Bestseller has announced the launch of a new initiative through which it will establish solar power plants at the sites of its Bangladeshi suppliers, as it looks to combat its Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Funded by Bestseller’s parent company Heartland, the work will get underway next year, with long-standing supplier Body Fashion Limited – located in Gazipur – set to be the first to benefit.
“With this initiative, we want to strengthen our suppliers' opportunity to invest in more sustainable solutions for the benefit of their own companies, their local communities, our business, and the entire green transition,” said Anders Holch Polvsen, Bestseller’s CEO and owner.
