H&M: Sustainable Materials for Kids

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT - ART DIRECTION

H&M aims to be the brand that takes the sustainability lead in the retail industry, particularly when it comes to kidswear. In order to educate parents about their sustainability initiatives and build trust with the consumer, there was a need for specific, targeted messaging on kids’ and parents’ terms. The delivery was a toolbox of flexible image and copy assets covering two main topics: Sustainable Materials and Kids Safety.

These were to be used in an always-on approach, communicating sustainability claims in small, simple to understand, positive cues which appear consistently, often, and across all channels: hm.com, newsletters, social media, in-store and digital screens. It was intended to be used as a long-term activation, with local flexibility to lift up the most relevant topics for each market.

Water is the source of life.

Using sustainable materials and production methods are essential to protecting and preserving our greatest resource.

We show kids enjoying water, feeling alive and energised by it, but never taking from it. They tread lightly,temporary footprints in the sand.

They hold shells and stones gently in their hands.

They’re respectful of nature and the power of water,and are passionate about protecting them.
