ESG in Fashion: Permutable AI Uncovers Industry Trends
Permutable AI's 2023 Fashion Sector ESG Report highlights the essential role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance in evaluating the sustainability and responsible business practices of apparel brands.
Leading the way in this movement are industry pioneers such as LVMH, Puma, Patagonia, Gucci, and Hanesbrands. These visionary companies have not only embraced sustainability but have also established a standard for others to follow. Their dedication extends across ethical supply chains, sustainable materials, and fair labour practices, demonstrating that achieving brand success can coexist with a positive impact.
Conversely, on the other end of the spectrum, brands like Nike, Hermes, Boohoo Group, Balenciaga, and Adidas encounter challenges when it comes to aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards. While they have made some progress, their journey towards adopting more responsible and ethical practices, with an increasing emphasis on sustainable fashion, remains ongoing.
Permutable AI's comprehensive report meticulously assesses a wide array of ESG indicators to offer a multifaceted perspective on the ethical and sustainable practices of each company. These indicators cover various aspects that reflect a brand's commitment to corporate responsibility and its influence on the world.
The assessment encompasses critical dimensions such as corporate conduct, environmental initiatives, human rights, ethical business practices, governance, and efforts to combat discrimination, all contributing to the broader concept of sustainability within the fashion industry.
The report showcases the top and bottom ten fashion brands and their endeavours in the realm of ESG, as well as their contributions to promoting sustainability in the fashion sector. It provides valuable insights into how these brands are perceived in terms of their understanding of responsible business practices and their implementation of measures to achieve sustainability goals.
