Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The H&M Foundation teamed up with Forum for the Future to release Textile Futures 2040, a set of four scenarios for industry leaders. These scenarios are designed to help companies stress-test assumptions about growth, technology, consumption, and responsibility, and reframe strategies for net zero and a just transition. The H&M Foundation stated that the scenarios are not predictions, but tools to help decision-makers make better choices today.
