Our Goals

Tracking our CSR goals and achievements.

“In order to keep improving, we set ambitious goals and track our results.”

Goals 2026

  1. By end of Q1 2026, establish a centralised sustainable materials and certification control system to manage logo approvals and outgoing Transaction Certificates (TCs). The system will be applied to 100% of sustainable material orders handled via Bangladesh, ensuring consistent verification, documentation, and customer-compliant claims.
  2. By end of 2026, have 50% of our cotton sourced as Physical BCI. 
  3. By end of 2026, expand the use of BHive chemical management software to cover 100% of strategic suppliers, enabling systematic monitoring of MRSL compliance, chemical inventory, and risk assessment, with corrective actions tracked within the system.
  4. By mid-2026, ensure that 100% of packaging materials used by suppliers comply with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive/Regulation (PPWD & PPWR)
  5. By end of 2026, implement plastic reduction measures in packaging by prioritising mono-material, recyclable, or reduced-plastic alternatives where technically and commercially feasible, and achieve a minimum 15% reduction in plastic used and convert 15% of our plastic into GRS/RCS certified. 
  6. By end of 2026, implement tex.tracer as a traceability solution to support Digital Product Passport (DPP) readiness, covering at least 80% of key product styles. The system will capture supplier, material, and compliance data required under upcoming EU sustainability legislation.
  7. By end of Q1 2026, define and validate science-based climate targets aligned with SBTi guidance, covering at minimum Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 emissions, in collaboration with  ClimatePartner.
  8. By end of 2026, provide advanced training on social compliance auditing and health & safety auditing to all CSR managers and strategic suppliers in Erve Group’s production countries.
