01 / Why this course

Fashion is one of the highest-emitting industries on Earth.

Fashion and apparel sit near the top of every emissions league table — and the customer expectations and regulatory pressure are now moving faster than the supply chain can keep up with.

Industry analysis like Vogue Business on Kering’s science-based targets shows what credible action now looks like at scale. The UK’s wider trajectory — set out in the House of Commons Library research on UK plans for net zero by 2050 — frames the policy environment retailers are now operating inside.

This course gives fashion and retail teams practical climate fluencymaterials and supply-chain literacy, and credible reporting tools for what customers, journalists and investors are now scrutinising.

02 / Curriculum

Three modules. From climate impact to credible action.
