The 2024 playbook reimagines sustainability integration across the value chain

  • Flip the Script

    Our 2024 Scaling Sustainability Solutions in Fashion report flips the sustainability narrative on its head. Rather than focus purely on traditional environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts, it recognizes change will happen in operations.

  • A New Playbook

    Leveraged as a playbook, the report looks at nine nodes across the value chain, from financial and business planning all the way through to marketing and communications, to help functional teams understand sustainability challenges and profitability.

  • Control Zones

    Across business functions, our playbook outlines the control zones that drive impact, with prompts to guide next steps in your journey – plus Insights into the functional levers for action, KPIs, and corresponding areas of impact across the organization.
