Most fashion brands’ emissions occur outside of their own operations. This means they have to rely on data from third parties, such as the landlords for stores’ energy consumption, or the suppliers for fuel and electricity use. So how to collect, verify, and manage the data is key to showing the correct data.

The incredible transparency in this report in how they calculate the GHG emissions and what’s included: raw material, fabric, and garment manufacturing, non-garment goods, packaging, and use of sold products… not only can show the public where the fashion industry is now towards the green transition but also gives general customers the knowledge to better identify the “Greenwashed” products in the market. 💚

Coming from a background of working in fashion production, I deeply understand the challenges of shifting the whole supply chain - it’s not within one brand’s capability but requires collective work from all global fashion brands to push for real changes.

More than 20% reduced GHG absolute emissions (including scope 3) in 2023 compared to the 2019 baseline is a great achievement. The most ambitious climate target in the industry: 56% by 2030 in 3 scopes, is a responsible approach as one of the industry leaders.

This climate Transition plan includes detailed data on GHG emissions from the year 2019 and ambitious targets aligning with the global climate target: the 1.5 degrees. A strategic approach from financing the transition, advocating for systemic change and resource use and circularity to mitigate their value chain’s absolute emissions. This plan is huge, not because of the GHG that will be reduced, but because it will systematically change how people work and live(renewable energy production, regenerative agriculture..) where most of the industry’s production is based: Asia.

Many people might say, the fast fashion industry is dirty and it’s impossible to be sustainable. But which industry isn’t? Food? Transportation? Tech?…
I am looking forward to the day when I don’t have to feel bad about myself buying a “fast fashion” brand like H&M. But in the meantime, we all have to work on our own transition plan to fight for the future.
