The fashion industry has seen extraordinary growth and its current $1.3trillion size is expected to continue to grow.

At the same time fashion companies face significant reputational and regulatory risks with latest example being the New York’s Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act.*

To benefit all stakeholders in the entire supply chain, to protect and enhance company reputations and lower financial risks companies need to move out of the linear model and into a circular economy model. Our consulting processes support and help progress on that journey breaking each task into steps that are sequenced and carried out, to move away from the ‘take-make-use-dispose’ processes. We recognise that the journey of transformational change starts and is enacted by single steps

*The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act would require all fashion companies that do business (sell their products) in New York and generate more than $100 million in revenues to map at least 50% of their supply chains and disclose impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, water footprint and chemical use. The bill does not specify which 50% but calls on brands to focus on areas with the greatest social and environmental risks. Brands would have to report the total volumes of materials they produce, a standout move that would highlight the sector’s aggregate impact that’s typically hidden; most brands highlight reducing the impact of individual materials while still increasing their production and their total footprint along with it. Brands would be required to reduce their impacts, including by setting and meeting Science Based Targets for their greenhouse gas emissions.
