BOSTON – The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) has linked up with brands Nike and Target to launch a new programme to help textile and apparel manufacturers reduce their CO2 emissions.
Announced at the SAC’s annual meeting in Boston, the Manufacturer Climate Action Program (MCAP) offers suppliers a pathway to measure carbon emissions and develop science-aligned targets for Scopes 1 and 2 where they have direct control.
It excludes Scope 3 measurements because the SAC believes these often create a barrier for manufacturers taking steps toward setting science-aligned targets.
