Our industry isn’t yet going far enough, fast enough. As we approach COP29, the urgency for the consumer goods industry to tackle climate change has never been clearer. Emissions from the textile and apparel sector are set to surge, primarily concentrated in just nine countries, including China and India. I invite you to read my latest piece in the South China Morning Post, where I delve into why our planet's future—and the sustainability of our industry—depends on focused, strategic action, and doing more together, where it matters most. https://lnkd.in/eAUZFssj
