Impact Areas
The 2023 Scorecard measures the performance of global brands across the following five categories and 2030 benchmarks. These five categories correspond to Stand.earth’s Roadmap to Fossil Free Fashion, which identified five critical focus areas and corresponding metrics to assess the ambition and response of global fashion brands to the climate emergency.
Climate commitments and transparency
Are fashion brands are setting climate and energy targets that are in line with keeping global warming below 1.5°C? And if so are they being transparent about their progress?
Renewable and energy-efficient manufacturing
How are brands engaging with their suppliers to improve energy efficiency, source renewable energy, and improve data transparency at the facility level?
Renewable energy advocacy
How is the fashion sector engaging in targeted advocacy with key decision-makers to phase out fossil fuels and push for renewable energy?
Low-carbon and longer lasting materials
What efforts are companies employing to phase out fossil fuel based fabrics, wood-based materials and leather linked to deforestation, as well as non-organic or non-regenerative cotton?
Greener Shipping
How are brands setting targets and taking action to reduce emissions from upstream shipping and advocating for zero-emissions vessels and infrastructure?
