MUNICH – Cascale's new CEO has today urged more than 600 leaders of the textile, apparel and consumer goods industry to target "industry hotspots" for carbon emissions.
Colin Browne told the nonprofit's on-going annual meeting in Munich that 1,500 manufacturing facilities in nine countries accounted for 80% of the industry’s carbon emissions. It was also revealed in a joint statement on stage from the Apparel Impact Institute, Cascale and RESET Carbon, that CO2 benchmarks for facilities will also be developed.
