Renewable Energy

Renewable electricity strategies of some major brands fall woefully short and standard-setters provide limited incentives and sometimes even barriers to increase ambition, says a study by the NewClimate Institute.

As part of its measures to reduce GHG emissions, fastener company YKK is increasing the use of electricity from renewable energy, and as of FY2022, 31 of its locations worldwide have completed the changeover with electricity being purchased from renewable energy sources.

The Fashion Pact, an initiative of 75 CEOs from the world’s leading fashion brands, has launched a project that seeks to accelerate renewable energy adoption in the industry.
