I. Introduction

H&M is highly concerned about protection of environment and health. In 2011, H&M, together with

several Apparels and Footwear brands, formed the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC)

group, which aims to lead industry to achieve zero-discharge of hazardous chemicals during

manufacturing by 2020.

In 2012, H&M performed the Benchmark study, which provided a snapshot on the situation of

hazardous chemicals discharge in manufacturing. In the study, discharged wastewater and incoming

water of 11 factories in three countries, China, India, and Bangladesh, were tested for 93 analytes

corresponding to 11 hazardous chemical groups. Among these hazardous chemical groups, five

chemical groups were detected in discharged wastewater. However, most detected chemical groups

in discharge wastewater were also detected in incoming water, indicating that the chemicals found in

discharged wastewater were mainly originated from environmental background instead of

manufacturing. These results reflected the restrictive chemical control in supply chain of H&M, but at

the same time revealed that the presence of hazardous chemicals in environmental background

imposes significant challenge in complete elimination of hazardous chemicals in discharged

wastewater. After the benchmark study, H&M has increased the restriction in chemical discharge by

expanding the Manufacturing Restricted List (MRSL)1 from 17 to 139 chemical substances. Besides,

H&M is working closely with stakeholders to drive towards the goal of zero-discharge.

In 2013, H&M continues to pay significant effort to achieve complete elimination of hazardous

chemicals in supply chain. Following the benchmark study in last year, H&M carried out a further

comprehensive study to investigate the discharge of hazardous chemicals during manufacturing. This

study was of an expanded scale, in which discharged wastewater and incoming water of 34 factories

in five production countries, China, Cambodia, Bangladesh, India and Indonesia, were tested for 121

analytes2

corresponding to the 11 hazardous chemical groups. In addition, H&M understands the

responsibility and importance in increasing the transparency of hazardous chemicals discharge to

public. The discharge data collected in this study was disclosed in a public online platform, the

Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) (www.ipe.org.cn).

In this report, the results for the study of hazardous chemicals discharge are presented and action

plans to drive towards the goal of zero-discharge are discussed. Besides, the workflow for disclosure

of data to the IPE platform is introduced.

II. Objectives

To conduct a further comprehensive study on discharge of hazardous chemicals in manufacturing

and develop action plans to drive towards zero-discharge.

III. Methodology

The study was conducted on 34 factories from five major production countries, (i) China (10 units), (ii)

Cambodia (3 units), (iii) Bangladesh (17 units), (iv) India (2 units) and (v) Indonesia (2 units). (Figure1)

Chemical tests were performed by Bureau Veritas Consumer Product Service Ltd (BVCPs). The

collection of environmental samples was carried out according to international standards as listed in

Appendix B. Particularly, the environmental samples were collected in the period between 2.00-5.00

pm, during which the factories operated under normal load. The collected samples were sent to local

testing laboratories of BVCPs for chemical tests.

Hazardous chemicals detected in incoming and discharged water 4.1

samples

Number of hazardous chemical detected in discharged wastewater and incoming water

The discharged wastewater and incoming water of factories were tested for a total of 121

hazardous chemical analytes1. Among these hazardous chemicals, 33 (27.3%) chemicals were

detected in discharged wastewater and 20 out of the 33 detected chemicals were also detected in

incoming water (Figure 2). These data indicated that incoming water was one of major source

contributing to the hazardous chemicals detected in discharged wastewater.

*The detected analytes is shown in Appendix C

Chemical groups detected in discharged wastewater and incoming water

Chlorophenols, Flame Retardants and Perfluorinated compounds were not detected in both

wastewater and incoming water samples (Table 1). The 33 hazardous chemicals detected in

discharged wastewater belong to 8 chemical groups, 1) APEO, 2) Azo Dyes, 3) Chlorinated

33 (27%)

88 (73%)

20 (16%)

solvents, 4) Chlorobenzenes, 5) Organotin, 6) Phthalates, 7) Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins

(SCCPs) and 8) Heavy metals. Among the eight chemical groups detected, five of which, APEO,

Chlorobenzenes, Chlorinated solvents, Heavy metals and Phthalates, were also detected in

incoming water samples (Table 1). However, Azo dyes, SCCPs and Organotin were not detected

in incoming water, indicating that these three chemical groups could be originated from

manufacturing processes. As shown in figure 3, Chlorobenzenes, Heavy metals and Phthalates

were three major chemical groups detected in discharged wastewater.

*Common sources of various hazardous chemicals in manufacturing are shown in Appendix E.

Hazardous chemical groups detected in factories from different countries

The discharge of hazardous chemical groups in factories from different countries is depicted in

Table 2. In China and Indonesia, most chemical groups detected in discharged wastewater were

also detected in significant quantity in incoming water3, indicating that most hazardous chemicals

detected in discharge wastewater could be originated from incoming water and the environmental

water source in these two countries was more polluted. In Bangladesh and Cambodia, most

detected chemical groups in discharged wastewater were not from incoming water3, therefore

generation of hazardous chemicals during manufacturing in these two countries needs particular

concerns. Among the hazardous chemicals tested, Chlorobenzenes and Heavy metals were

detected in all the five countries, showing the wide distribution of these two chemical groups in

manufacturing and environment and the challenge in elimination of these two chemical groups.

Comparison of the quantity of detected chemicals in discharge waste 4.2

water with local legislation

In this part, the quantity of detected chemicals in discharged wastewater is compared with the

local legislation limits of waste water in the five countries involved, which indicate the impacts of

hazardous chemicals to environment and health. Legislation limits for three chemical groups,

including 1) Chlorinated solvents, 2) Chlorobenzenes and 3) Heavy metals, were compared here

as only the legislation limits of these chemicals groups were available (Table 3). Different

countries have different restriction level for these hazardous chemicals in wastewater. In

Indonesia, only and Chromium (Cr) is restricted, while in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and India, more

chemicals are restricted (Table 3).

The highest detected concentration of each analytes in this study was applied for the comparison

with local wastewater discharged legislation limits. As shown in Table 3, the concentrations of all

hazardous chemicals detected in this study were lower than the corresponding legislation limits,

therefore fulfilled the relevant country legislations that listed in reference section.

Disclosure of discharge data to Institute of Public and Environmental 4.3

Affairs (IPE) platform

Each factory unit was required to fill in the chemical test data into a data form issued by IPE. The

filled data form was sent to BVCPs for cross-check and finally uploaded to the IPE platform by

factories. All discharged results of 34 production units are now available in IPE platform:

http://www.ipe.org.cn/En/pollution/discharge_detox.aspx. The uploaded data is freely accessible

by public.

IV. Conclusion and action plan

This study provided a comprehensive picture on discharge of hazardous chemicals in

manufacturing of H&M. Among the 11 chemical groups (121 chemical analytes) tested, 8

chemical groups (33 chemical analytes) were found in discharged wastewater. In coherent with

the benchmark study performed in last year, many chemicals detected in discharged wastewater

could be originated from incoming water. However, some chemical groups, including Azo dyes,

Organotin, and SCCPs, were only detected in discharged wastewater but not in incoming water,

indicating that these chemicals groups could be produced from manufacturing. And, the quantities

of all detected hazardous chemicals in these units were lower than the legislation limits of the

corresponding countries.

H&M will continue to pay every effort in elimination of hazardous chemicals from supply chain. In

order to prevent the use of hazardous chemicals during manufacturing, we will work closely with

our suppliers to work out good chemical management systems and keep close monitoring on the

implementation of the systems. We will keep updating our MRSL to increase the

comprehensiveness of the zero-discharge scheme. We will further enhance the transparency of

hazardous chemical discharge to public by encouraging more factories to disclose their chemical

discharge data.
