While all these initiatives matter, the potential impact is marginal when matched against the emissions generated in fabric processing and dyeing. This is where the Future Forward Factories and Fashion Climate Fund come into play. Future Forward Factories provides suppliers with a practical pathway to transform their operations towards near-net-zero. With lower energy, water and emissions, plus access to partnerships, suppliers win both climate leadership and business returns. Future Forward Factories’ blueprints don’t just show how to upgrade machinery, but also how to strengthen the capabilities of those who operate them.
