Sustainability in Fashion: Why Data Science Matters

The solution to sustainable fashion is as multi-faceted as its definition. Business of Fashion (BoF) recently launched its Sustainability Index, bringing together a diverse group of fashion sustainability & worker’s rights experts to track the fashion industry’s progress towards urgent environmental & social transformation across 6 key dimensions.We can all agree that there is no one single solution to all topics and to that end, this white paper focuses predominantly on tackling waste & emissions with the help of data.

A sustainable mindset has become a pre-requisite rather than a differentiator in the fashion industry. Whilst companies work towards a longer-term materials revolution, there are quick wins to be had by leveraging the power of data across a wider scope of business operations.
