The environmental footprint of the fashion industry

Despite increased awareness about the importance of sustainability, the fashion industry’s environmental footprint remains substantial.

Companies continue to create more products than they can sell, and over half of all fibre globally produced is polyester, which requires more energy for extraction and processing and lingers in the environment for a long time. But fashion companies will likely feel pressure to do more as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) transparency continues to grow.
