We changed our terminology from “net zero” to “no net emissions” as that more accurately reflects our approach to this goal. 9 This reduction in our water footprint is primarily driven by our evolving store footprint and the reduction in store foot traffic during COVID-19. 10 ® Responsibly sourced as defined by third-party certifications such as the Better Cotton Initiative, the Global Organic Textile Standard, or OEKO-TEX . 11 Sustainably sourced as defined by third-party certifications such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). 12 We adjusted this timeline due to supply chain and sourcing complexities and recognizing that this material requires a holistic approach to sustainable sourcing. 13Our first Owned Brand since we established this goal was launched in July 2021 and our data therefore covers half the year.
