Samsonite steps up sustainability strategy as it moves to lead industry in going green

Samsonite has launched a new global sustainability strategy and committed to lead the industry in cutting its environmental footprint.

The move includes commitments by Samsonite’s brands, including Samsonite, Tumi, American Tourister and Gregory - they aim to increase the use of sustainable materials and packaging, increasingly develop innovative solutions to ensure product durability, access to repairs and end of life solutions and use 100% renewable energy while reducing carbon emissions to become carbon-neutral by 2025.

Kyle Gendreau, Samsonite International CEO, said: "Throughout Samsonite’s 110-year history, our values of respecting our people, the planet and our impact on the world have endured. How we treat each other and how we care for the world we live in are guiding values that, together with our heritage of industry leadership, make it a natural step for Samsonite to take the lead on sustainability.

"While we’ve been focused on sustainability for several years, ‘Our Responsible Journey’ is how we will accelerate the implementation of sustainable business practices globally to meet our goals. This strategy will touch every aspect of our business to help us further our long-standing leadership in the industry."
