YKK presents the new AW/24-25 LOW IMPACT Collection
When we speak of corporate sustainability we refer to a new conception of entrepreneurial activity, according to which the ultimate aim of the business cannot consist solely in maximizing profit, but must be extended to the creation of value in the long term, to advantage of all company interlocutors, the needs of future generations and the protection of the environment.
How is it possible to actively contribute to achieving this balance?
This is a question that YKK asks itself constantly, and has always been, while studying new solutions to operate in full compliance with social and environmental responsibility. This is a question that YKK asks itself constantly, and has always been, while studying new solutions to operate in full compliance with social and environmental responsibility. But while on the one hand the term “sustainable product” might seem simple and easy to understand, on the other hand we know that it has different meanings for different people. At YKK, we define “sustainable” products as products made through manufacturing processes that conserve energy and water, ban the use of toxic chemicals, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional zippers. Obtaining a product with low environmental impact therefore means making sure that, throughout the complex life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to disposal as waste (or recycling), the impact on the environment, in at least one of its matrices (air, water, soil…), is reduced.
All this materially translates into the sustainable products that YKK presents in the AW24/25 Collection.
