What are fashion brands revealing about how they buy renewable energy, their use, and how effective and impactful their approaches are?

In this section, we try to understand major fashion brands' progress on adopting renewable energy through their commitment to the RE100 initiative - a global corporate pledge to 100% renewable energy.

We are also looking to assess the transparency levels and detail of their energy procurement strategies for both owned facilities and supply chains. This includes examining the types of procurement methods used and how robust and credible these approaches are.

Alongside this, we are also evaluating the level of transparency on the scope and scale of renewable energy use and production in the supply chain by looking at the percentage of electricity consumption that is matched to renewable energy both annually and hourly - also known as 24/7 hourly matching.

Finally, we are looking at brands’ future plans for renewable electricity procurement and what specific constructs they are pursuing, alongside what other measures they are seeking to support renewable electricity procurement in their supply chains.
