“As a multi-brand retailer, collaboration with the industry has been a key part of our Fashion with Integrity strategy for many years, helping us learn from the best in the industry and support emerging brands on their sustainability journey. We are excited to join the Fashion Leap for Climate program to empower our partner brands and help them support the decarbonization of their products and supply chains,” comments Jodie Leek, Head of ESG for Partner Brands at Asos, in a press release
About You, Yoox Net-a-Porter and Zalando founded Fashion Leap for Climate 2022
Fashion Leap for Climate was founded to improve the fashion industry’s response to climate challenges. Accordingly, the initiative supports fashion brands to measure their own carbon footprint and set targets in line with climate science.
With the addition of Asos, Boozt and Selfridges Group, around 100 of their brand partners will now have access to Fashion Leap for Climate’s comprehensive educational program, as well as industry insights and collaboration opportunities with other leading names in the industry.
“We are on a mission to reinvent retail and create a sustainable future for the planet and people. Joining Fashion Leap for Climate allows us to support our valued brand partners in practical and meaningful ways to decarbonize fashion,” explains Selfridges Head of Sustainability Christian Toennesen.
As a strategic partner, Cascale will bring 25 new participants from the alliance network into the program. It creates value by leveraging its community of over 300 brands, retailers and manufacturers to raise awareness and drive collective action to reduce environmental impact.
