Textile Exchange, a proud signatory of the UNFCCC Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, shares a fundamental commitment to driving the fashion industry to net-zero emissions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement no later than 2050. We, the fashion company signatories to the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, ask the political leaders of countries with major fashion production and consumer markets to partner with us to bring the industry in line with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting average global temperature rise to 1.5 degree Celsius.
