Apparel & Footwear, Consumer Goods & Retail Decarbonization

Map supply chain emissions, identify hotspots, and understand decarbonization levers for the greatest impact:

• Map and quantify Scope 3 emissions across complex, multi-tiered supply chains using primary, modelled, and hybrid approaches.
• Conduct product- and supplier-level Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
• Identify carbon hotspots and prioritize high-impact intervention areas

Design science-based strategies aligned with SBTi and tailored carbon reduction roadmaps: 

• Conduct peer benchmarking and materiality assessments
• Design Scope 3 decarbonization strategies and governance frameworks
• Support brands and manufacturers in setting credible, science-based or science-aligned targets (SBT and SAT), including SBTi submission and validation
• Develop phased implementation roadmaps tailored to supplier capabilities and regional contexts across Asia
• Create low carbon sourcing roadmaps for brands and retailers

Assess emissions, maturity, and readiness at the factory level to shape targeted interventions:

• • Evaluate supplier engagement strategies by assessing current carbon, energy and water management practices, technology maturity, and reduction potential – initiating engineer-to-engineer carbon conversations through our Carbon Tech Assessment (CTA)
  • Design tailored engagement strategies based on supplier hotspots and maturity, including factory-level (site level) programs (e.g. Carbon Target Setting [CTS], Best Practice Action Plan [BPAP]) and supplier-level (company level) initiatives (e.g. Manufacturer Climate Action Program [MCAP])
  • Perform onsite or remote factory assessments of energy use, material inputs, and process emissions
  • Conduct baseline emissions assessments at the supplier or factory level

Deploy low-carbon technologies, transition away from coal, and access green energy solutions:

• • Support development and implementation of action plans for energy management and efficiency
  • Accelerate energy transition efforts including coal phase-out and low-carbon technology adoption
  • Facilitate renewable energy procurement, including onsite solar feasibility, installation, and offsite solutions such as Green Energy Certificates (GEC), Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)
  • Provide technical assistance through help-desk services and expert advisory
  • Support access to decarbonization financing

Activate supplier action through training, guides, and technical assistance:

• Design supplier engagement programs to build awareness and drive climate action
• Deliver training sessions, playbooks, and practical guides to build supplier readiness
• Facilitate peer learning and knowledge-sharing across supplier networks

Track impact, generate reports, and align with leading frameworks like SBTi and CDP:

• Monitor implementation progress through digital tools and onsite visits
• Use impact monitoring platforms to track GHG reductions and generate emissions reports
• Support alignment with reporting frameworks such as SBTi, CDP, and other regulatory disclosures
