Agua Fabrics, a leading producer of performance upholstery fabrics is committed to achieving the Planet Mark certification. Understanding and measuring its carbon footprint is the first step in identifying ways to minimise its impact on the planet. In this crucial Decade of Action, the company wants to ensure that it is a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring its own impact on the environment.
Achieving Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders. Over the next year, it will be working towards measuring and reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with its community to inspire others.
Through Planet Mark, Agua Fabrics will be protecting an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth goes directly towards supporting the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
It will also be helping the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
To recertify next year Agua Fabrics must reduce emissions by 2.5%.
A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
