About the data

In this section, we measure transparency of efforts to finance fashion’s decarbonisation from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Firstly, we look for a brand’s efforts to identify and respond to climate-related risks - like floods, droughts and heatwaves - which have financial impacts on their business. When fashion brands identify substantive costs of climate risks on their business operations, they are more likely to act on them. This is why we look for disclosure of climate risks through a financial lens.

Answers are calculated as a weighted average. To find a weighted average of a group of numbers that have been normalized to the same 0-10 scale, you simply multiply each number by its weight (percentage) and add them up.
