The\nconsequences of global warming and climate change have shown that actions need\nto be taken, and that involves the clothes manufacturing and fashion industry.\nAccording to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the textile industry is\nresponsible for 8% of the total global warming emissions and 20% of worldwide\nindustrial polluted water. Moreover, a truck of textiles is thrown every\nsecond, and less than 1% of these textiles are recycled globally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to this\nscenario, several international agreements and organizations have emerged to\nprotect the environment, put people first, and keep the supply chain members\nsafe. These are, without a doubt, the first steps towards a fairer\nfashion industry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a\nglobal alliance that involves more than 250 organizations from the industry,\nincluding brands, suppliers, vendors, all the parties interested in the\nconsumer goods industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These\norganizations have established the Higg Index as their primary instrument for\nmeasurement and transformation towards a more environmentally and socially\nresponsible industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Index\nis a suite of tools that offer a uniform method for assessing environmental and\nsocial sustainability throughout the supply chain and allows for sharing this\ninformation among industry players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Higg\nindex is being used in over 36 countries, becoming the first step towards\nsustainability. With the data obtained by applying the Index, brands can\ncommunicate their sustainability strategies and drive collective fashion\nindustry transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a\nnon-profit organization founded in 2002 that leads the fashion industry\ntransformation towards sustainability, establishing a common measurement\napproach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Textile\nExchange aims to build a community that connects efforts in the textile value\nchain to transform the fashion industry into a more responsible one and achieve\nclimate reduction goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With over\n600 members and a presence in more than 40 countries, its focus relies on the\nsustainable fibers and materials sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their goal\nby 2030 is to contribute to the achievement of a 45% reduction in greenhouse\ngas emissions within the fiber and raw material production in the textile\nindustry. To do so, they developed and promote standards for the industry, such\nas Global Recycled Standard (GRS), Organic Content Standard (OCS), Responsible\nAlpaca Standard (RAS), among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid the\norganization’s members, it’s possible to find some of the most recognized\nbrands such as Adidas, Amazon, Columbia, Lacoste, Alexander McQueen, Target,\nTesco, VF, and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2018,\nunder the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate\nChange, fashion brands and stakeholders worked and developed the Fashion\nIndustry Charter for Climate Action<\/strong>. This is a document that states\nsome bold industry commitments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nagreement made in the Charter involved a 30% GHG emission reduction by\n2030<\/strong> and a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.\nThese agreements are made to achieve the Paris Agreement to <\/strong>limit the\nincrease in the global average temperature to less than 2.0 \u00b0C <\/p>\n\n\n\n To help the\nsector achieve its climatic objectives, eight Working Groups were created that\nbrought together experts, stakeholders, and relevant initiatives from the\nfashion and textile industries. Companies such as Asics, Chanel, Espirit, GAP\nInc, Guess, Mango, among others, are part of this agreement <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a\nglobal pact among textile and fashion companies committed to environmental\nobjectives, the key to ensuring sustainable development. It was launched in\n2019 at the G7 Summit in Biarritz as a mission given to the CEO and Executive\nDirector of Kering, by the French President, Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though\nit started with 32 signatories, it has been signed by more than 60 companies\nthat work in the sports, lifestyle, and luxury sectors, and their retailers,\npresent in over 40 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of\nthese companies are Desigual, Decathlon, Stella McCartney, and Adidas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The pact\nidentified three areas of action: Stopping global warming, restoring\nbiodiversity, and protecting the oceans.<\/strong> Along with them, it\nestablished critical environmental goals for each one, such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Stopping\nglobal warming:<\/strong> Implementing\nthe principles of the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.\nRestoring biodiversity:<\/strong> Supporting the zero-deforestation and sustainable forestall\nmanagement by 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.\nProtecting the oceans:<\/strong> Eliminate unnecessary<\/em> & harmful plastic in B2C<\/em> packaging\nby 2025<\/em> & in B2B packaging by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is still a lot of work that needs to be done, but by setting these initiatives, the industry has taken the first and most essential steps becoming part of the solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At Southern Textile Network we are proud to be part of the Peruvian apparel manufacturers that are leading sustainability efforts.
