Apparel Carbon Emissions Data

Apparel emissions are dominated by the supply chain: fabric production, dyeing and finishing, manufacturing and global logistics typically far outweigh a brand's direct operations. That makes Scope 3 disclosure the real test of transparency for clothing and footwear companies.

Compare carbon emissions across Apparel companies

The table ranks Apparel companies by Mycelium Score, which rewards low emissions intensity within the sector, transparent reporting and third-party verification, rather than by raw totals, which would penalise the companies that report most completely. Mycelium tracks 130 companies in this sector; the top 25 are shown here.
