UKFT has launched the fifth and final issue of our first Sustainability 101 series. This issue focuses on decarbonisation, helping UK fashion and textile businesses understand and take practical action on energy use, carbon emissions, climate risk and the evolving regulatory landscape. It supports organisations at every stage of their sustainability journey, offering clear tools, frameworks and step-by-step guidance to measure emissions, set targets, comply with legislation and embed climate action into wider business strategy.

• An overview of the energy, carbon and climate challenges facing the fashion and textile sector, including its contribution to global emissions.
• Clear guidance on measuring greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3), setting science-based targets and tracking progress towards net zero.
• Insight into current and emerging UK, EU and global energy, carbon and climate regulations and reporting requirements relevant to the sector.
• Practical steps, tools and frameworks to help businesses integrate decarbonisation into their wider strategy, supported by resources, case studies and a clear roadmap for action.

The Sustainability 101 series, Volume 1, has been developed to support and guide the sustainable development of fashion and textiles in the UK. As the sector faces growing environmental, social and economic challenges, understanding sustainability is no longer optional, it is essential for long-term resilience and competitiveness.
