Our Sustainability Framework and Strategies

Climate change remains a pressing concern and as a member of the global community, the Group is committed to addressing the defining issue by developing our "10-Year Sustainability Plan". Devised by the Sustainability Committee, the plan sets forth the 12 key themes as categorized into three material topics — supply chain management, environmental protection and social responsibilities. The plan guides our efforts in minimising environmental impacts across our operations from 2021 to 2030.

China has demonstrated its unwavering determination in combating climate change as the Chinese government announced the national ambition of reaching a carbon emissions peak in 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. XTEP has been actively working on our environmental protection targets, ranging from sustainable product innovation, chemical use, energy saving and air emissions, water management and waste management to support the country’s commitment towards sustainable development.

Besides the "30•60 target", the Chinese government also introduced the "1+N climate policy system" and the national emissions trading scheme on the Shanghai Environmental & Energy Exchange which aim to promote sustainability development in all industry sectors. With favourable policy direction and clear strategic planning, XTEP will further advance in our sustainability journey and maintain the status of sportswear market leader.
