It is no surprise that the fashion industry is still one of the most polluting industries globally, releasing 2.1 billion tons of GHG emissions per year.
In 2018, the launch of the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action provided a promising avenue for holding the fashion industry accountable for reducing emissions. This Charter outlined several key goals, such as a 30% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 and getting to net-zero emissions by 2050. It also called on brands to support the transition away from the use of fossil fuels in their supply chains, in favour of renewable energy by 2030.
