Study: fashion slow to decarbonise supply chains

SAN FRANCISCO – A new scorecard released by environmental advocacy group Stand.earth claims major fashion companies continue to rely heavily on fossil fuels to manufacture their products and are failing to decarbonize their supply chains. The 2023 ‘Fossil-Free Fashion Scorecard’ claims fashion companies are not doing enough to move from climate commitments to actions at scale. The report was released on the back of a new IPCC report which delivered a ‘final warning’ over climate issues and called for governments and businesses to act now or it will be “too late.”
