YKK, the Japan-headquartered fastener company, announced that it has signed the Business/Investor Letter in Support of an Ambitious U.S. 2030 Climate Goal. In the letter, organized by the We Mean Business Coalition and Ceres, signers request that United States President Joe Biden create a path for the country to cut emissions in half by 2030. The letter also urges the actions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Becoming a cosigner of the letter builds on YKK’s environmental commitments dating back to its 1994 Environmental Charter, which prioritized “harmony with the environment.” In March 2020, YKK signed the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action. In October, the company released its Sustainability Vision 2050, and, last month, YKK’s targets for emissions reduction were approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative, an independent organization that aids corporations in setting climate goals.
