| Abstract: | The article focuses on Uniqlo’s evolving sustainability strategy, emphasizing deeper supply chain engagement and upstream traceability of raw materials. Over the past year, Fast Retailing, Uniqlo’s parent company, has made significant progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the use of recycled materials, while recognizing that most emissions occur beyond direct operations, particularly in upstream manufacturing. Uniqlo is extending long-term supplier partnerships further upstream to fabric mills and farms, supported by new IT systems for supply chain visibility and stricter raw material procurement standards. The Australian Wool Project exemplifies this approach by enabling full transparency from farm to garment, reflecting the company’s shift toward comprehensive supply chain understanding to meet climate and social responsibility goals.
