Vestiaire Collective launches carbon credits from circular fashion

Vestiaire Collective is the first resale platform to launch carbon credits from circular fashion. The luxury resale platform’s new initiative issues credits that quantify emissions prevented when consumers purchase pre-loved fashion instead of buying new. This approach is based on a rigorous methodology, which was independently developed by Inuk and certified by AmSpec². It supports the transition to a low-carbon economy by unlocking funding for climate solutions through the issuance of carbon credits, each representing one ton of CO₂ avoided or removed from the atmosphere. {Fashionista inbox}

Ralph Lauren drops net-zero emissions target

Ralph Lauren is ditching its target to reach net-zero emissions by 2040, saying it will instead double down on more concrete, nearer-term climate commitments. The company said its focus will be on rolling five-year targets to curb greenhouse-gas emissions in line with global ambitions to cap atmospheric heating at levels that avoid a climate crisis. Ralph Lauren has already exceeded its current target to cut greenhouse-gas emissions 30% by 2030, compared to a 2020 baseline. {Business of Fashion/paywalled}
