Sixty-five factories in 9 regions set their carbon reduction targets in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While target setting is a great entry point to carbon reduction, it is neither the only entry point nor the end of this important workstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must recognize that some of the seven interventions, like the elimination of coal, gain significantly more public attraction than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is correct that shifting from coal to lower-carbon alternatives for thermal energy and moving to 100 percent renewable electricity are vital to decarbonizing the apparel sector. A 50 percent shift to renewable energy in global supply chains\u2019 spinning, textile formation, and finished goods assembly facilities would reduce emissions by an estimated 213 Mt CO2e.

At the same time, with rising energy prices, it can bring almost immediate economic savings. Production processes with high energy use benefit the most, such as wet-processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we want to achieve our 45% reduction target by 2030, it is therefore important to understand that only the combination of interventions, including the reduction of energy consumption, can lead factories to decarbonize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aii\u2019s inaugural Clean by Design Energy &amp; Water Efficiency program has proven an effective and scalable solution in the \u201cenergy efficiency intervention\u201d with an average of 8.27% energy and 8.24% GHG emission savings for wet-processing units since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/data-collection-1024x331.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/data-collection-1024x331.png 1024w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/data-collection-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/data-collection-768x248.png 768w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/data-collection-1536x497.png 1536w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/data-collection.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fashion Climate Fund<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26129\" style=\"width:376px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pierre-chatel-innocenti-LGblf4EH4yk-unsplash-1-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fashion Climate Fund is a rapid acceleration of existing Aii programmatic work to achieve our collective SBTs.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, Aii proudly launched the $250M Fashion Climate Fund with lead funders lululemon, H&amp;M Group, the PVH Foundation, Target, H&amp;M Foundation, and The Schmidt Family Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pioneering a collaborative funding model between philanthropy and corporate entities, the Fund is designed to unlock an estimated $2B in blended capital in additional asset classes to help meet the industry\u2019s ambition to halve carbon emissions by 2030.
