It is estimated that the textile industry is responsible for 10 % of global CO2 emissions. The majority of emissions are generated during energy production and production in the supply chains. However, these emissions happen mostly outside the scope of European brands and manufacturers. Data on emissions of the value chain (so-called Scope 3 emissions) are hardly available. As they cannot be directly assigned to a specific company, there are few incentives and obligations for brands to reduce them. However, the population in the production countries is doubly affected by the negative impact of emissions: due to climate change-related extreme weather phenomena on one hand and air pollution in the vicinity of textile factories on the other.
