Vogue Business | As sustainability pressures increase, over 40 fashion suppliers have withdrawn from their climate goals, citing cost and resource constraints. This shift highlights the systemic challenges in achieving industry-wide sustainability, emphasizing the need for stronger collaboration and support between brands and suppliers to stay aligned with climate targets.
For an article in Vogue Business, Quantis’ Global Fashion + Chemicals Lead Philipp Meister was interviewed to share his insights into what’s behind the rollback.
When manufacturers don’t meet their commitments to set targets, brands are directly impacted, Meister says. That’s because the majority of their emissions come from the supply chain, which they don’t have direct control over. While many of the brands that Quantis works with are communicating directly with suppliers to help them set targets, others in the industry are simply not aware of whether or not their manufacturers have made climate commitments at all.
