    Building on our heritage of #innovation, #durability and #sustainability, we are proud to announce the Samsonite Group has committed to an ambitious near-term science-based climate target in alignment with the criteria of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).   As a part of our global sustainability strategy, Our Responsible Journey, we have committed to: • Continuing to use 100% renewable electricity in our own retail stores, manufacturing and distribution facilities and offices.  • Significantly increasing recycled materials used in our products to reduce Scope 3 value chain emissions from purchased goods and services by 52% by 2030 on an intensity basis per unit gross profit, compared to a 2022. Our new target was submitted to SBTi for validation last month and applies collectively to all of our brands worldwide, including Samsonite, TUMI, American Tourister , Gregory Mountain Products and Lipault Paris. "We are proud to leverage our leadership position to create a path towards a more sustainable future for the industry," said Kyle Gendreau, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "We are partnering with our suppliers to significantly expand the use of recycled, lower-carbon materials while maintaining our long-standing commitment to durability."
