DKNY, Tom Ford and Reebok among companies to score 0% in Fashion Revolution report ranking top 250 firms
Almost a quarter of the world’s biggest fashion brands, such as Reebok, Tom Ford and DKNY, do not have a public plan for decarbonisation, a report has found.
The fashion industry can be highly polluting. In some casesforever chemicals have been found in the waters near factories. The industry is also a concerning source of waste, with fast fashion accused of encouraging overconsumption.
The What Fuels Fashion? report, published on Thursday, analyses and ranks 250 of the world’s biggest fashion brands and retailers – those with turnover of $400m (£313m) or more – based on public disclosure of their climate goals and actions.
I get a funny feeling that the decarbonization plans of the other 75%+ are worthless or nearly worthless in terms of actually helping humanity in any significant way with the polycrisis at hand. The very existence of a worldwide brand of anything is nowhere near sustainable.
