H&M总裁担心环保思潮
Karl-Johan Persson, H&M's CEO, is concerned that growing awareness about sustainability will be bad for the fast-fashion industry and the wider economy.In an interview with Bloomberg, he first took on the issue of air travel, a mode of transportation that contributes 2.5% to global emissions every year."Yes, that may lead to an environmental impact," he told Bloomberg. "But it will have terrible social consequences."
H&M总裁卡尔-约翰·佩尔松担心，人们日益意识到可持续问题的重要性将不利于快时尚行业和整体经济。在接受彭博社采访的时候，他首先谈到了航空旅行的问题，这种交通方式每年排放的温室气体占全球排放量的2.5%。“是的，这也许会对环境造成轻微影响，”他告诉彭博社。“但这会产生严重的社会后果。”
我们必须进行复杂的经济转型以应对气候变化，但作为一家大型快时尚企业集团的总裁，佩尔松也许是最不适合畅谈经济转型的人了。
