LONDON - The CDP non-profit has defended itself from criticism of the way it monitors work by global fashion giants, such as Nike and H&M, to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The Guardian reported that both companies scored highly for their work on climate change despite their emissions actually increasing year-on-year because their revenues were increasing more quickly.
CDP, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, was also accused by the newspaper of allowing companies to report only Scope 1 and 2 emissions - and not scope 3, their supply chain, where the bulk of the problem lay.
