We have signed a $2.3 million cooperation agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, to help us meet our corporate sustainability objectives to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and water use in our supply chain. Under this agreement, which follows IFC�s Partnership for Cleaner Textiles (PaCT) approach, IFC will work with 42 designated LS&Co. suppliers and mills to reduce GHG emissions by helping suppliers identify and implement appropriate renewable energy and water saving interventions across 10 countries � Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Mexico, Lesotho, Colombia, Turkey, Egypt, and Vietnam. The project follows the success of a 2017 pilot cooperation between the two organizations that helped six LS&Co. suppliers in four countries reduce their emissions by 20 percent and decreased their operating costs by more than $1 million, collectively.
