Levi Strauss & Co. and Marks & Spencer launch Fashion Renewable Collaborative
What happened
Levi Strauss & Co. and Marks & Spencer co-founded the Fashion Renewable Collaborative (FRC) on September 22, 2026. The FRC was launched with support from Schneider Electric's SE Advisory Services. The collaborative is designed to help fashion industry suppliers adopt renewable electricity at scale through practical implementation support. It aims to facilitate renewable electricity adoption across global fashion supply chains.

Why it matters
The initiative addresses the challenge of translating individual climate commitments into measurable emissions reductions across complex global supply chains. Supplier adoption of renewable electricity remains a critical challenge due to market barriers and fragmented engagement efforts. The FRC seeks to model a shared approach to supplier engagement to overcome these hurdles.
