March 03, 2020

"YKK has a long history of environmental stewardship, which is an integral part of our 'Cycle of Goodness' philosophy. Our Environmental Pledge was signed by our CEO in 1994, and we created NATULON®, the first zipper made from recycled PET bottles and polyester remnants, 26 years ago," says Hiroaki Otani, president, YKK Corporation. "Signing the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action signals to the world not only our continued commitment to sustainability in our product development and manufacturing processes, but also our desire to work together with other organizations in the industry to accelerate the reduction of GHG emissions."
