The three retailers will expand their invitations to 250 brand partners, surpassing the 55 brands that participated in the successful first year. In the second year of the initiative, brands will now be able to join an eight-week live course, comprising four modules and spanning eight hours, either through an engagement track that offers customised support or through a self-directed approach with access to on-demand learning materials.<\/p>\n<p>About You Holding SE\u2019s co-chief executive officer Hannes Wiese said: \u201cAt About You, we believe that collaboration and transparency are key to sustainable change across the industry. This creates accountability, but also comparability between businesses and leads to positive change within the fashion sector. \u201cWe are proud of last year\u2019s strong results of Fashion Leap for Climate and are excited \u2013 together with Zalando and Yoox Net-A-Porter \u2013 to start its second year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the platform\u2019s initial year, brand partners experienced an 85% improvement in comprehending science-based targets while 100% of participants felt more equipped to establish such targets, with more than half intending to do so within the upcoming year. Nearly all (91%) participants believed the collaborative opportunities offered by the platform to be valuable in fostering discussions and sharing practices with sustainability experts and peers.<\/p>\n<p>About You increased the percentage of partners with science-based targets to 54.4% in 2022, approaching its goal of 90% by 2025, while Zalando increased the percentage of partners with SBTs to 58% in 2022, in line with its goal of 90% by 2025. Zalando SE\u2019s co-chief executive officer David Schneider said: \u201cSince launching this initiative last July, it is very encouraging to see that the first of our partner brands have completed the learning journey and how it has improved their confidence in taking steps towards climate action. \u201cWe strongly believe that such partnerships are the driving force of progress and that only through working together a long-lasting impact is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Textile production contributes to 10% of global carbon emissions and is highly dependent on natural resources and water, according to a report from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Another report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) revealed that the production of textiles is the leading cause of microplastic pollution, responsible for 35% of ocean microplastics. Last month, the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), along with the Fashion Pact and Conservation International, launched a new primer to help the fashion industry establish tangible and measurable nature targets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/fashion-giants-expand-learning-platform-to-tackle-industrys-climate-impact\/\">edie.net<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/111411\/\">Fashion giants expand learning platform to tackle industry\u2019s climate impact<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[612,575,900,10723,1874,898],"class_list":["post-115477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-climate","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fashion","tag-giants","tag-impact","tag-tackle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115477\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
