Carbon pricing would be the most structurally embedded risk and hardest to reverse. Carbon pricing is different as it sits directly on Scope 3, where 96–99% of apparel emissions occur. That means it’s embedded in Tier 2 manufacturing and upstream energy systems. Unless those systems decarbonise, cost exposure compounds year over year.
The main challenges are erratic rainfall, temperature spikes, and shifting pest cycles. Adaptation requires both technology and traditional agronomic practices. We’re working and have also planned to formulate models with a combining effort on securing improved seed and water management schemes by reintroducing agroforestry practices that improve soil structure and moisture retention.
