Despite increased awareness about sustainability, the fashion industry’s environmental impact remains significant. Those statistics are staggering and have led to a significant increase in regulations related to the issue. This rising regulatory pressure, together with increasing expectations from consumers and other stakeholders, has led to many companies establishing sustainability targets.
Adopting sustainable practices can give businesses a competitive edge, attract eco-conscious customers, and position them as industry leaders as regulations and consumer preferences evolve.
However, setting targets is only the first step. Companies need to take action to achieve their goals and monitor their progress towards them. By doing so, they can ensure that they successfully meet their sustainability targets, avoid the risk of negatively impacting their reputation or facing compliance issues, and prevent the unethical practice of “greenwashing”.
