The fashion industry has a major opportunity to cut emissions while building more resilient businesses and support stronger financial performance across the value chain. Together with EY, Apparel Impact Institute, and HSBC, we released a white paper that explains why fashion companies should accelerate decarbonisation in their supply chains. The white paper shares insights, solutions, and best practices on how fashion brands can create business value through climate investments and why collaboration and new financing models are essential to scale real impact.

This is what leadership looks like!
Over the years, I’ve seen fashion brands face the dual challenge of staying competitive while making a meaningful impact. #Sustainability is no longer optional, it strengthens supply chains, drives growth, and inspires collaboration across the industry. Collaboration, #innovation, and bold thinking—this is exactly what the industry needs right now!
Scaling real impact through new financing models is the only way to accelerate decarbonization across the value chain. In our recent production cycles, we've proved that investing in innovative dyeing machinery—directly translates to significant energy reduction and a lower carbon footprint in Tier 2. This level of measurable, mass-production data is the key to unlocking sustainable finance and building a resilient supply chain for 2026.
"Collaboration is the only way to achieve scale in decarbonization. The emphasis on new financing models is crucial—often, the biggest hurdle for fashion brands isn't the 'will' to change, but the infrastructure to fund it. Looking forward to diving into this white paper to see the specific solutions for scaling impact across the value chain." H&M Group
Interesting read — especially the perspective on financing models to accelerate supply chain decarbonisation 👏🏻
Important initiative. Sustainability and decarbonisation are becoming key priorities for the future of fashion.🌟🎖💯 #SustainableFashion
A timely and important perspective from H&M Group in collaboration with EY, Apparel Impact Institute and HSBC. Accelerating decarbonisation across the supply chain is not just a climate imperative, but a clear pathway to long-term business resilience and value creation.
Important and timely initiative. Decarbonising the fashion supply chain will be critical for both sustainability and long term business resilience.
Fantastic initiative. It’s encouraging to see major industry players not only acknowledging the urgency of decarbonisation but actively leading with practical frameworks
This is a very important direction — especially the focus on collaboration and supply chain decarbonisation. What I find particularly valuable is the emphasis on aligning financial value with sustainability, as this is often where real scaling begins. One thought that comes to mind while reading this: alongside improving how garments are produced, there may also be an opportunity to explore how garments are used over time. If design can help extend use or allow one garment to serve multiple roles in a wardrobe, it could further support the same goals from another angle. It feels like combining these approaches could unlock even stronger impact across the system.
