Burberry receives British fashion council’s award for positive change in recognition for work with the un framework convention on climate change

Burberry and the other founding signatories of the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action received the inaugural Award for Positive Change at The British #fashion Council’s 2019 #fashion Awards.

The award, announced on the opening day of COP25 in Madrid, Spain, is the beginning of a new partnership between The British #fashion Council and the UN to recognise those in #fashion that are making significant efforts in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We partnered with UN #climatechange to launch the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action in 2018. The Charter aims to drive change across the #fashion industry with an initial goal of reducing aggregate greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030. Aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, the Charter is looking at how #fashion can address #climatechange, from reducing carbon impacts at production stage, selecting climate friendly and sustainable materials to exploring circular business models, improving consumer dialogue and awareness and working with policymakers to catalyse scalable solutions. 

During 2018/19, we reduced our market-based emissions by 43% and procured 58% of our total energy (including 68% of its electricity) from renewable sources. We are now carbon neutral across the Americas region, our EMEIA retail stores and UK operations, and aim to be 100% carbon neutral by 2022. We held our first carbon neutral #fashion show in February. Building on this, we also set two new, ambitious climate goals approved by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) for our own operations and extended supply chain.
