LUBBOCK – A new Biodiversity Benchmark framework has been developed to mobilise the fashion industry towards becoming nature positive by 2030.
Developed by Textile Exchange, the Biodiversity Consultancy, Conservation International and a multi-stakeholder advisory group of more than 60 organisations, experts, companies and industry specialists, the benchmark aims to help companies plan and measure their approach and actions.
Liesl Truscott, head of corporate benchmarking at Textile Exchange which published a report on the concept, said: “The role of this report, and the Biodiversity Benchmark itself, is twofold: they help companies make the link between biodiversity and the work that they are already doing with their materials strategies, and they use reporting and disclosure as a mechanism for mobilisation and getting concrete biodiversity strategies in place.”
