More than 70% of the fashion industry’s GHG(GreenHouseGas) emissions come from upstream activities and current operations predominantly rely on non-renewable energy sources, such as petroleum, gas, oil, and coal. Changing the industry power supply to renewable energy requires new infrastructure solutions at scale.
At COP28, BESTSELLER and H&M Group have pledged to invest in the first utility scale offshore wind project off the coast of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. This groundbreaking wind project would be a significant step on increasing the availability of renewable energy in one of the fashion industry’s most important manufacturing countries.
GFA(non-profit organisation Global Fashion Agenda) is calling for stakeholders in fashion industry and beyond to come together and engage in facilitating renewable energy solutions.
