CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Being a responsible business

Conducting business lawfully and ethically is a key guiding principle of The LYCRA Company under our Planet Agenda sustainability platform. Our corporate responsibility initiatives include:

• Achieving consistently high Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) records at all of our sites, and meeting or exceeding environmental regulations around the world. For example, in 2021, The LYCRA Company’s recordable injury rate was 10 times lower than the average for manufacturing industries.

• Practicing good corporate citizenship by supporting the communities where we operate, sponsoring employee volunteer efforts, and contributing to organizations that advance sustainable practices in the apparel, textile and personal care industries.

• Being an employer of choice by ensuring lawful labor practices are followed and all employees are treated fairly and with respect.

• Publishing our 2030 Sustainability Goals and Commitments.

Sustaining the Community

Around the world, The LYCRA Company supports the communities in which it operates.  Here are just a few examples of how we are helping to build better, cleaner communities. 

In 2021, with Covid-19 affecting many of our communities, several of our sites worked to address food insecurity, including the Singapore plant’s collaboration with Food From the Heart, where we provided employee donations and a matching corporate contribution.

Helping the Environment

Community Outreach

In Foshan, our employees organized a family-friendly volunteer event around the theme of "Love the Community, Love the Environment," where children were encouraged to participate. This community outreach event exemplifies our commitment to support our surrounding communities through volunteerism while also connecting children to environmental awareness and sustainable development concepts at an early age.
