Direct Operations

H&M Group has low exposure to conversion of natural ecosystems in its direct operations, and commits to maintaining this state.

Upstream

H&M Group will source 100% of volumes of Annex 1a conversion-driving commodities in its supply chain assessed as conversion-free by 2030 (in all natural lands), compared to a 2020 cutoff year.

Upstream – deforestation only

H&M Group will achieve 100% of its products subject to the European Union Deforestation Regulation as deforestation free by 2026, compared to a 2020 cutoff year, in accordance with the legislative requirements.

Upstream – conversion in conversion hotspots (inclusive of deforestation)

H&M Group will source 100% of volumes of wood assessed as conversion-free by 2030, compared to a 2020 cutoff year.

H&M Group will source 100% of volumes of cattle (derived leather) assessed as conversion-free by 2030 compared to a 2020 cut-off year.

Notes: 

1. H&M Group does not source any conversion-driving commodities (Annex 1a) from producers or the first points of aggregation; all sourcing is from downstream from the first point of aggregation.
2. H&M Group Annex 1a commodities within target scope as defined by the SBTN methods are: cotton, wool, viscose (wood-based fibre), cattle (leather), paper & cardboard (packaging), wood.
3. Wood is included in timber products, MMCF and retail and online packaging. Wood used in other types of packaging and non-commercial goods outside H&M Group ownership fall under our material goals and policy towards suppliers to work towards conversion free.
4. H&M Group’s efforts to deliver on SBTN land target 1 on no deforestation and conversion is set with the understanding that SBTN will update its target setting methods in 2026, offering guidance for commodity volumes that are not traceable within the target timeframe. This includes alternative actions like certification, certification standard engagement, supplier engagement, product redesign, and focal landscape involvement to ensure compliance.
5. If H&M Group converts natural ecosystems within its direct operations between 2020 and 2025, it will commit to remediating it.

H&M Group commits to reduce absolute agricultural land footprint from upstream impacts 3.85% by 2030 from a 2019 base year.

Notes:

As per the SBTN Step 3: Land Technical Guidance, inclusion of waste and residues land footprint should be assessed by legal definitions, sectoral best practices, then economic value. H&M Group has assessed the land footprint for recycled materials in line with the Textile Exchange guidance.

H&M Group’s agricultural land footprint, derived from the SBTN methodology, includes cotton, wool, and leather. It excludes small volume materials as per the SBTN guidance and thresholds.

H&M Group is engaged in the Regenerative, Ecologically and Economically viable agriculture (REEVA) project in Central India and in the Regenerative Wool Project in the Eastern Cape Drakensberg Grasslands of South Africa, and committed to a substantial improvement in ecological and social conditions by 2030.
