CCRM fashion analysis at London Climate Action Week 2025

Following the launch of the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor's (CCRM) deep dive into the fashion sector, we spoke with NewClimate Institute's Frederic Hans about the findings of the CCRM and some trendsetters working to enhance the climate performance of the sector. Although the fashion sector has made some progress, overproduction and waste remain major challenges, as are the electrification of manufacturing processes and sourcing renewable electricity. Laboni Saha of the L Saha luxury brand reaffirmed the huge need for protecting people and planet, incorporating innovation to ensure the equality and integrity of all aspects of the supply chain. Rafia Anowar from The Apparel and Textile Transformation Initiative explained how they are dealing with decarbonisation and energy inefficiencies in Bangladesh.
