🔑Real estate investors need a clear pathway to reduce operational carbon emissions, aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. 🤝 In 2020, we partnered with the CRREM - Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor, as the first science-based pathway for operational building emissions. 📈 Today, CRREM is used by investors managing over EUR 6 trillion globally. A recent Knight Frank survey found 74% of UK investors use CRREM before purchasing assets, with over half requiring it for acquisition due diligence. 🌍 This success highlights the industry's commitment to sustainable investment.

🤝 Convenings that bring together tangible solutions, a spirit of collaboration, intent, and action are critical, and that’s what this year’s #FutureFabricsExpo supplied in large doses. 2024 marks the 11th year of the expo initiated by Laudes Foundation partner The Sustainable Angle, which continues to showcase next-gen solutions to the industry with over 5000 exhibitors this year. 💬 Driving the conversation around scaling circular systems around waste reduction, our Director of Industry Programmes Amol Mehra moderated a panel session with our partner Fashion for Good, together with Circle-8 Textile Ecosystems, NewRetex A/S and Paradise Textiles, unpicking the barriers and levers to unlock with brands, suppliers and manufacturers. The conclusions: - Collaboration is critical to taking ideas from seed to scale - Joint commitments, financing and coordinated action across the value chain is required - For innovators it’s critical to focus on continuous impact and optimising R&D - Brands need to signal demand, make and honour commitments, set and embed KPIs throughout the organisation - Supportive policy and regulation, alongside an evolving capital stack that scales with innovators is vital. 🔗 Read more about our work in the fashion industry on our renewed website. https://lnkd.in/e7jwk9c5 #CircularFashion #NextGen

Next gen IS this gen. The movement to next-gen materials is a certainty. Findings from our partner Sustainabelle Advisory Services’s new report "Next Gen to This Gen: Scaling Material Innovations in the Fashion Sector”, reveal insights from across the supply chain that indicate a shift to better materials is imminent. Consumers are demanding more from brands to provide better materials and more circular solutions. Brands are increasingly open to embracing new materials that can ease supply chain risks, comply with regulations, help them meet ambitious climate impact targets by lowering their footprint. Climate tech sectors like solar and EVs have laid a path that fashion can confidently follow to implement next-gen materials in their supply chains and products. Across the industry, coordinated action can effectively realise material innovations today!
