Sustainability

Explore Planet Agenda

Sustainability -- it’s a commitment to doing what’s right for the planet, for people, and for our industry. It’s also a journey of continuous improvement, which is why in 2008 we adopted a sustainability framework that touches every aspect of our business. Today, as The LYCRA Company, we remain committed to this ongoing journey, guided by what we call “Planet Agenda.”
