ACHIEVING LOWER IMPACT PRODUCTION

together


WHY

We acknowledge the negative impact of scope 3 emissions in the fashion industry
and the unique challenges they pose in multi-tier supply chains.

Learn more


WHAT

FSI develops and finances projects that allow your mills, your manufacturers and
your company to achieve near-term Science Based Targets.

Learn more


HOW

To significantly reduce emissions, enabling brands and suppliers to achieve
Science based targets, suppliers need to make a range of investment.

Learn more

Today, the fashion industry stands at a crossroads. Will it continue with
business as usual or, grasp the opportunity of a lifetime and become renewable,
regenerative, and restorative, delivering for all stakeholders and not just
shareholders. Only by working together across the supply chain can businesses
overcome risks, embrace evolving technology, and design financial solutions to
deliver on its biggest needs.

Co-Founder and Co-Chair of The Fashion Pact

H&M GROUP AND OTHER MAJOR FASHION BRANDS UNITE TO LAUNCH COLLECTIVE FINANCING
MODEL FOR SECTOR DECARBONIZATION

Alongside financial incentives, technical support will be provided to help
suppliers identify and implement low carbon technologies and solutions.
Baselining and monitoring emission reductions will also be conducted to
demonstrate the impact of projects financed and implemented by the initiative.

The initiative seeks to identify and match projects with the highest potential
for impact. By identifying common factory units, interventions and costs, it
will enable a global and regional joint effort between fashion brands, moving
from targets and roadmaps to implementation and measurable reduction, beyond
energy efficiency measurements.

BRAND WATCH: CALLS GROW FOR REGULATION AS FASHION FIRMS RESIST CALLS TO DISCLOSE
THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT

The Future Supplier Initiative, a new collective financing mechanism coordinated
by the brand-backed Fashion Pact, is held up by industry advocates as an example
of such collaboration. Alongside financial incentives, the initiative helps
suppliers identify cost-effective decarbonisation projects with high-impact
potential.

Embedded in the design of the initiative is the provision of ongoing supplier
feedback, says Eva von Alvensleben, the pact’s executive director: “Suppliers
are consulted from the very beginning of the process and are instrumental in
approving and shaping these projects.”

WHO WILL FINANCE A MORE SUSTAINABLE FASHION INDUSTRY?

The collective aspect is also important because it’s rare for one brand to be a
supplier’s only customer. Getting a bigger group on board splits the risk and
addresses the free-rider problem; brands are reluctant to go out on a limb to
help finance projects that will benefit their competitors, especially when
they’ll only be able to take credit for the sliver of emissions reductions that
relates to the volumes they source. Working together reduces this friction and
individual risks.

For instance, if all four brands are present in a factory where a $2 million
project to install solar panels has been identified, each would be asked if
they’d like to underwrite $500,000. The goal is to get more brands and banks
involved and to expand the programme into more countries, including Vietnam,
India, China, Italy and Türkiye.

EXCLUSIVE: BESTSELLER, GAP INC., H&M GROUP AND MANGO JOIN FORCES ON RENEWABLE
ENERGY FINANCE INITIATIVE

“This initiative is really what we see as being the next big thing that our
industry needs. It needs collaboration across companies, brands and businesses,”
Bestseller chief executive officer Anders Holch Povlsen told WWD. “We all know
that the big challenges lie deep within our supply chain. That’s where we have
the [biggest] footprint today, and this is where we need to work.”

The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action estimates that 99 percent of
total fashion brand emissions occur at the earlier levels of the supply chain.
The brands’ new financing initiative looks to share the risks with Tier 1 and 2
facilities, or those at the raw material production, dyeing and finishing and
manufacturing level.

CAN COLLABORATIVE FINANCING HELP FASHION DECARBONIZE?

How the FSI will work goes something like this: Participating brands will share
the names, profiles and energy data of their Tier 1 and 2 factories with the
risk management firm Guidehouse for analysis against a slew of parameters, such
as the existence of climate targets and reduction potential. Brands will then
decide which to prioritize and help “enable” their financing—however they end up
doing it. The idea is to “bridge the investment gap” that prevents factories
from, say, switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy, von Alvensleben
said.

“A collective approach is about sharing costs; it’s about sharing risks; it’s
about sharing responsibilities,” she said. “This whole industry has systematic
issues that we need to overcome, that are bigger than one company alone can
solve.”

GAP, H&M, BESTSELLER, MANGO: UNITING FOR SUSTAINABLE FASHION

The Future Supplier Initiative, facilitated by The Fashion Pact in partnership
with Apparel Impact Institute, Guidehouse, and DBS Bank, launches with a
programme in Bangladesh supported by Bestseller, Gap Inc., H&M Group and Mango.

It is actively recruiting more brands, with the intention of expanding to other
key apparel manufacturing regions including Vietnam, India, China, Italy and
Turkey.

With 99% of total fashion brand emissions occurring in the supply chain (Scope
3), the initiative aims to “accelerate the transition to net zero by sharing the
financial risks and responsibilities of transitioning to renewable energy
sources in Tier 1 and 2 garment and textile factories”.

We invite you to join forces in a collective financing mechanism, feasible
across segments and geographies. Accelerating the transition to a fossil-fuel
free fashion industry.

We are currently recruiting apparel brands interested in financing
decarbonisation in Bangladesh, Vietnam, China, Turkey or Italy.

Suppliers nominated by the brands will be contacted through the initiative,
please read more here.

All our focus is on demonstrating progress and at this point we are not able to
answer requests from solution providers or consulting firms.
