David Burrows reports.

If more companies commit to measuring and reporting publicly on their sustainability performance, four things should happen. ESG performance should improve; more ‘sustainable’ companies should be rewarded; a link tying companies with better ESG records to better equity returns should emerge; and the measurements and reporting should become more rigorous. “Over time, this virtuous cycle would result in a more sustainable form of capitalism,” wrote professor Kenneth Pucker from Tufts University, Massachusetts, in an HBR paper in June 2021.

In reality, consumers had little to no influence over the business direction of fashion brands, leaving companies to operate as they wished with minimal oversight or accountability. Pucker explained that carbon emissions in the fashion industry have more than doubled in this timeframe. In 2000, the fashion industry produced around 50 billion units of clothing. Today, they produce more than 100 billion. Due to a lack of disclosure requirements, the exact number is still unknown.
