Fashion’s Big Climate Wins
Some of fashion’s biggest brands have started to drive down their planet-warming emissions as proven solutions roll out across the supply chain.
A new report highlights significant strides made by major fashion brands in reducing their carbon footprint. H&M and Kering have achieved more than a 30% decrease in emissions, but many other leading companies are lagging behind their own set targets. The report suggests that implementing heat pumps, commonly used in homes and buildings, could be a potential solution for these manufacturers to further cut down their emissions.
Companies such as H&M and Puma are committed to phasing out coal from their supply chains by the end of the decade.
