"AEO’s Water Leadership Program Apparel production involves a large quantity of water and needs to be treated properly. In 2013, we launched the AEO Wastewater Management Standard to provide factories with guidance on how to properly manage water and make sure that water is safe before it is discharged. In 2017 we launched the Water Leadership Program with our denim factories. This program sets expectations for our factories on wastewater, water reduction, and water recycling. Our expectations are building each year as we work with our factories toward meeting our overall water goals. Factories that meet our requirements receive higher scores on our vendor scorecard and are prioritized for receiving business. Through this program, we have decreased the water used per jean by 14%, and increased the amount of water recycling by 24%. With these efforts, our factories have saved over one billion gallons of fresh water a year."
