In 2021, Wikirate launched the Apparel 100 project. The output was a comprehensive collection of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data and supply chain transparency metrics for the world’s 100 largest apparel companies. With a combined market cap of over $1.22 trillion in 2018, these companies represented more than half of the global fashion market, making their transparency and sustainability practices critical.
The 2024 updated dataset includes 41 key metrics, ranging from greenhouse gas emissions and water usage to labor rights and corporate governance. It identifies gaps in disclosure and highlights opportunities for companies to improve their policies and practices.
Compiled in collaboration with Sustainometric researchers, the dataset is designed to inform policymakers, human rights advocates, investors, and sustainability professionals. It aims to drive accountability and promote better practices across the apparel sector.
The following methodology was used for data collection:
The Apparel 100 research aggregates a broad set of data and indicators based on commonly used reporting standards like the Global Reporting Initiative and civil society research, like Fashion Revolution’s Fashion Transparency Index, that make their methodology and data open and transparent.
The data is aggregated from research using public sources (corporate reporting and websites) and complemented through collaborations with research organizations, with methods including desk research, data scraping and API connections.
