To create the ‘Fashion Leap For Climate’ programme, About You, Yoox Net-A-Porter (YNAP) and Zalando collaborated last year in a ‘unique collaboration.’ The organisations are inviting 250 of their brand partners to participate in the expansion of their climate learning platform in July.
The Fashion Leap For Climate platform, which will debut in 2022, assists fashion firms in calculating their own carbon footprints and setting goals that are consistent with climate science.
After completing the workshop, brand partners of the three online retailers reported an improvement in confidence and an 85 per cent rise in their comprehension of science-based targets.
All of the participating brand partners said they would suggest the programme, and 91% said they enjoyed the platform’s chances for cooperation, such as the chance to share ideas with others.
Alison Loehnis, Interim CEO at Yoox Net-A-Porter, commented, “At Yoox Net-A-Porter we are committed to ambitious goals to lower our impact on the environment.”
For the second consecutive year, About You, Yoox Net-a-Porter, and Zalando want to offer more flexibility and value to a larger range of brand partners throughout 2023. Now, participants can enrol in a live eight-week course that lasts eight hours over four modules through an engagement track that offers customised support.
The three stores anticipate that the programme will expand in the future and have the potential to expand its availability to include all fashion brand partners as well as the larger industry.
Hannes Wiese, Co-CEO at About You, added, “At About You, we believe that collaboration and transparency are key to sustainable change across the industry. “
