Sustainability requirements: Levi's requires suppliers to comply with environmental permits and regulations and to actively mitigate local environmental impacts. Suppliers must implement waste management policies for solid and hazardous waste, ensuring proper handling and emergency procedures. Water management programs should aim to reduce freshwater use, control effluents, and meet legal discharge standards. Additionally, suppliers are expected to reduce energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions, measure and report emissions to Levi's, and align carbon reduction efforts with the company's environmental goals.
