Vision and strategy – Mission statement
To use our influence to bring
systematic change to the entire
fashion industry is one of H&M
Group’s greatest missions. We
want our customers to be proud of
what they wear, not only because
they look and feel good in their
clothes, but also because of the
way the clothes have been made
and the environmental and social
impact the garments have had.
