Dirty Fashion: Brands Ranking Table

One year on from Dirty Fashion: On track for transformation, this report assesses where global clothing companies and viscose producers stand in the transition towards responsible viscose. Through detailed scrutiny of 91 brands’ and retailers’ transparency and sourcing policies, and producers’ responsible production plans, we examine progress to date and gaps in existing commitments and pledges. Ten major brands and retailers – Inditex, ASOS, H&M, Tesco, Marks & Spencer (M&S), Esprit, C&A, Next, New Look and Morrisons – have now made a public pledge to integrate the requirements of the Changing Markets Roadmap towards responsible viscose and modal fibre manufacturing into their sustainability policies. This commitment sends a strong signal to viscose manufacturers that the industry must move to more responsible viscose production by 2023-25.
