Fast fashion giant Shein has set out targets to reduce its overall emissions across its entire value chain by 25% by 2030.
Its greenhouse gas emissions inventory for 2021 will serve as the company’s baseline for achieving its environments targets.
In order to meet the goals, the Chinese ecommerce behemoth announced it would commit up to $7.6 million in programmatic funding to the Apparel Impact Institute (AII), a nonprofit organisation dedicated to decarbonising and modernising the fashion industry supply chain.
