Kornit outlines sustainability commitments in first-ever impact
K
ornit Digital has committed to saving 4.3 trillion litres of water and 17.2 billion kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing overproduction in the fashion industry by 1.1 billion items by 2026. Its first-ever impact report titled ‘2020 Impact and Environmental, Social, and Governance Report’ affirms Kornit’s commitment to achieving specific ESG goals.
Ronen Samuel, CEO, said: “Our vision is to boldly transform the world of fashion and textiles for a better, more sustainable planet. This report serves as our roadmap to achieving this vision.
“The fashion industry is unfortunately responsible for severe ecological damage, producing nearly 20% of global wastewater each year and over-producing an average of 30% as an integral part of its ‘normal’ course of doing business. We are laser- focused on changing that trajectory. Sustainability is top of mind at Kornit, in our
L
spirit and in practice, every single day.” By 2026, Kornit’s sustainable on-demand solutions are expected to enable the production of approximately 2.5 billion apparel items in a responsible manner to deliver: • Zero overproduction: By moving the industry to on-demand manufacturing, Kornit will help eliminate the estimated 1.1 billion apparel items overproduced using traditional production methods, based on an industry average of 30% overproduction. This is about one apparel item for each and every person living in Europe and North America – saved.
• Zero water waste: In addition to eliminating overstocks, Kornit-enabled production on demand will support saving an estimated 4.3 trillion litres of water.

Government plan to raise National Insurance
inisters have announced a tax hike to pay for an £86,000 personal cap on lifetime social
care costs in England, and tackle NHS backlogs.

Along with a 1.25% point hike in dividend tax from next April, it is expected to raise £12 billion a year for the next three years.
Analysis prepared for the government by HMRC, said in 2022-23 a worker on the median basic rate taxpayer’s income of £24,100 would be expected to pay an additional £180 per year.
While, employees on the median higher
rate taxpayer’s income of £67,100 would be expected to pay an additional £715. The majority of the £36 billion fund raised by the rise over the next three years will go towards tackling the backlog of NHS cases, which has worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. £5.4 billion over the next three years will go towards changes to the social care system.
