Decarbonization Program
Our Decarbonization Program supports the consumer goods industry to work towards emissions reduction. We focus on collaboration, member support and delivering tools and guidance to make achieving science-based decarbonization targets possible.
Science-Based Targets
As part of the Decarbonization Program, our corporate members will be required to commit and set Science-Based Targets (SBTs), developed by the Science-Based Targets Initiative, from 2023. The Program aims to provide educational and advisory support to members who have not yet committed to SBTs or who are in the process of doing so. Setting SBTs is a crucial step for companies to take in developing a decarbonization strategy and plan to cut emissions.
The Decarbonization Guide for Members supports the fashion and apparel sector in committing to science-based targets and delivering against validated SBTs.
Manufacturer Climate Action Program
The Manufacturer Climate Action Program (MCAP) is a pivotal initiative that unites manufacturers worldwide to combat climate change. As an integral part of our Decarbonization Program, MCAP welcomes Cascale members and non-members alike, with a primary objective to accelerate the adoption of science-aligned targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
There’s an urgency for us to tackle the current climate crisis, as a collective action coalition which represents half of the apparel, footwear and textile sector we must address environmental and social issues through collaboration and equal partnership on common grounds. We must take more actions where value chain partners should be equally engaged and motivating each other to drive urgent actions to reduce emissions as a shared objective.
Through the Decarbonization Program, we are building important collective action solutions to drive large-scale systematic change required in our global supply chains which no single company can do this alone. Members are listening and learning from each other to address the most pressing and difficult issues we are all facing in different geographical regions, driving shared solutions to shared problems and making sure our targets become a reality. It’s the only way we can ensure our industry has a future.
