M&S is committed to total PFC elimination in textiles by 1st July 2016. It has delivered on the elimination of C8 PFCs and continues to communicate with
its suppliers about its phase out of all PFCs.
M&S was a pioneer when its original Commitment was adopted, as the first brand to set an elimination date for all PFCs and for including all the key principles in its Commitment. M&S has a usage ban on phthalates in its Manufacturing-‐RSL, however, it needs to clarify its elimination of phthalates in final products cover all products range, not only those intended for children (as outlined in its Product‐RSL).
