Each key result is further divided into activities or initiatives designed to contribute to this result, with measurable targets and responsible staff member(s) assigned. Aii\u2019s approach to OKRs creates a concrete link between the larger-scale goals that the organization seeks to achieve, the human resources needed to achieve these goals, and the responsibilities of individual team members in contributing to Aii\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023 we will review updates to industry target setting in response to the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action&nbsp; and will align our programs accordingly.

We are also exploring the significant opportunities in the textile sourcing hubs with the highest GHG emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aii will continue to advise the 65 factories that have set carbon reduction action plans by enhancing the factories\u2019 capability to monitor their carbon emission and providing implementation guidance as needed. Driven by the action plans, Aii will link factories to the appropriate Impact Program to accelerate impact while also driving standardization of Aii\u2019s GHG emission monitoring and reporting framework globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the CSP we aim to bring further new solutions aimed at renewable energy transition, materials efficiency and thermal energy to manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although programming has historically been driven through brand partnerships, Aii has recognized an increased interest by factories to work with us directly. To support this growth, we\u2019ve hired a Manager of Manufacturing Engagement to actively cultivate these relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we\u2019ve hired a Manager of Stakeholder Engagement to strengthen relationships with key stakeholders. An example of this work is a collaboration with the International Apparel Federation (IAF) \u2014 the world\u2019s leading federation for apparel manufacturers, (SME) brands, their associations, and the supporting industry. This is an important step to bring Aii programs to IAF\u2019s members from more than 40 countries that directly and indirectly represent over 100,000 companies and 20 million employees.<\/p>\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<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26015\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:30px;height:30px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg 150w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg 300w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg 1024w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg 1536w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg 2048w, https:\/\/apparelimpact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/grey.svg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 50px) 100vw, 50px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asian Region<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, Aii launched an initiative with Ren \u2014 an organization that develops tools that empower organizations to decarbonize their supply chains \u2014 with the objective to explore opportunities for aggregated clean energy procurement in Taiwan, Province of China.
