Yesterday, The Mills Fabrica hosted Fashion Revolution's official press launch for their new #WhatFuelsFashion report. The report, which is a special edition of Fashion Revolution’s annual Global Fashion Transparency Index, offers an in-depth analysis of how big brand’s decarbonisation claims hold up. The report analyses and ranks 250 of the world’s biggest fashion brands and retailers based on their public disclosure of climate and energy-related actions, covering Accountability, Decarbonisation, Energy Procurement, Financing Decarbonisation, and Just Transition and Advocacy over 80 data points. Overall, the report finds that big fashion is falling short of much-needed climate investments. The Mills Fabrica are proud to have the Fashion Revolution team as members of our co-working space and to host the findings of their latest pivotal piece of research.
