Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]The Scope 3 category purchased goods and services has the highest impact for us as a third-party retailer. In order to measure these CO2e emissions, we need to collaborate with third-party multi-stakeholder organizations such as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC).
Through our membership contribution to the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), we support their mission to promote environmental and social transparency in the fashion supply chain.
The SAC is actively engaging with policymakers via the Policy Hub. The purpose of the Policy Hub - Circularity for Apparel & Footwear is to unite the industry to speak in one voice and propose policies that accelerate circular practices. The goal is to assess the upcoming EU policies on circularity and sustainability and collectively with SAC and other Policy Hub's participating organisations (GFA, FESI, Textile Exchange & The ZDHC Foundation) to align on a shared position, which is then communicated to the policymakers. With this work, we aim to provide an ambitious policy direction for the apparel and footwear industry but at the same time ensure that legislation the EU puts forward is realistic and achievable for the industry.
