Our sustainability mission

At HUGO BOSS we take responsibility for our business conduct – whether in regard to our products, the people we interact with, or our environmental impact. In order to protect the environment and climate, we are committed to the introduction and further development of more environmentally- and climate-friendly processes and are taking appropriate measures. Our goal is to reduce the environmental footprint of our entire value chain (including our sites, stores, production, and logistics). Our actions are focused on the goal of becoming climate neutral for the whole value chain by 2045 and for our own area of responsibility by 2030. On this way, we are guided by our science-based emissions reduction targets.
