Neiman Marcus Group, the luxury department store chain, said on Wednesday it is planning to close its fur salons and become fur-free by early 2023.

The changes are a part of its environmental, social, governance goals to identity and disclose topics like animal welfare, the company said.

“It is clear the future is fur-free and that includes the ultra-luxury space,” Chief Executive Officer Geoffroy van Raemdonck said.

Luxury apparel brands have for long drawn criticism from animal welfare organizations such as the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, which says there is “nothing natural about clothing made from animals’ skin or fur.”

Brands like Nike, Gap, H&M and Burberry have also taken steps to create more sustainable apparel to cater to eco-conscious shoppers.

Neiman Marcus said it worked with the Humane Society of the United States to exit fur and draft a policy that aligns with the Fur Free Alliance guidelines.
