The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) has launched a new decarbonisation programme which will support and drive the sector to work towards emissions reduction, with a focus on collaboration, member support and delivering tools and guidance to make achieving these targets possible.
SAC corporate members will be required to commit and set Science Based Targets (SBTs) from 2023, and SAC will support members to commit and set SBTs, followed by scaling high impact solutions needed to achieve them collectively.
Research from World Resources Institute (WRI) and Apparel Impact Institute (AII), using data from the SAC’s Higg Index suite of tools and Textile Exchange, has identified six key impactful areas through which members can collectively drive change and create sustainable impact.
The apparel sector is responsible for between two and eight per cent of annual global greenhouse gas emissions.
