Fashion Leap for Climate

Quantis supported About You, Yoox Net-a-Porter and Zalando in developing Fashion Leap for Climate, a pre-competitive initiative and online learning platform that aims to drive climate education, engagement and action in the fashion and footwear industry.


All participating brand partners said that they would recommend Fashion Leap for Climate.


The platform offers step-by-step guidance to help the e-retailers’ brand partners understand:

  • The fashion industry’s stake in the global climate crisis
  • How to measure their corporate carbon footprints
  • How to develop robust science-based targets and submit them to the SBTi

The platform provides a blended learning experience that includes:

  • Self-study materials: guides, videos, infographics
  • Gamification elements: knowledge checks and interactive games to boost learning and engagement
  • Participatory learning: live webinars featuring Quantis climate experts
  • Learning communities: a dedicated space for fashion brands to engage with one another and Quantis’ sustainability experts

Between the pilot in November 2022 and the completion of the first five cohorts in early 2023, there were 55 participating brands on the Fashion Leap learning platform. Participants reported an 85% uptick in their confidence around and understanding of SBTs after completing the program, and almost all (91%) valued the opportunities for discussion and exchanging ideas with sustainability experts and peers.

Participants reported that they were better equipped to set SBTs in the future, with over half citing that they would set SBTs within the next year due to their experience.

About You, Yoox Net-a-Porter and Zalando have since continued this initiative into its second year, extending the invitation to an even wider roster of brand partners.
