Kohl’s Empowers Customers to Shop More Sustainably
New Icon System Highlights Sustainable Attributes within Kohl’s Apparel and Products
As consumers look to make a smaller impact on the environment, the demand for sustainable products and business practices has never been higher. Kohl’s has been meeting this evolving demand by increasing its investments in environmentally-friendly methods, brands and products, and recently debuted a new icon system to highlight sustainable attributes within its merchandise and help customers shop more sustainably.
Through enhanced sustainability efforts, Kohl’s aims to empower and inspire customers to make more sustainable shopping choices for a healthier future. The new sustainability icon system also highlights how customers can incorporate sustainable products into their everyday lives and shows how sustainability can be as easy as making small swaps to their favorite products.
This icon system shows what sustainable attributes mean and what impacts they have on the environment. Appearing in social, Kohls.com, packaging and in-store signage, the system makes it easy for shoppers to identify and understand the sustainable methods and materials used in Kohl’s merchandise.
