THE SCANDINAVIAN TEXTILE INITIATIVE FOR CLIMATE ACTION (STICA)
Progress Report 2022
THE SCANDINAVIAN TEXTILE INITIATIVE FOR CLIMATE ACTION (STICA)
Progress Report 2022
Our second Progress Report has now been published and is available for download. In this report, a majority of STICA member companies present their greenhouse gas emissions for Scopes 1, 2 and 3 activities, as well as disclose their targets. The report also includes a number of other important sections, including a discussion on strengths and limitations of the STICA methodology, an analysis of some of the key challenges companies and the industry are facing, and a call to action for policy makers.
Michael Schragger, Initiative Co-founder & Director, STICA
In this report, for the first time, a majority of member companies are disclosing the full scope of their emissions. This is a very important step for understanding what companies should focus on in the coming years, and also in the name of transparency. That being said, transparency is not the end goal. The focus moving forward must be on actions that reduce company and industry emissions and that transform the industry overall. I also want to highlight an inconvenient truth: No matter how ambitious companies are in regards to climate action, without substantial changes in legislation, very significant financial investment and rapid innovation, the pace of greenhouse gas reductions for STICA member companies and the industry overall will be too slow, and may even be insignificant.
CEO Perspectives
We asked CEOs from a selected group of STICA member companies and suppliers to reflect on what they have learned as a result of calculating their emissions, what challenges they see ahead, and what requests they have for policy makers and other key stakeholders.
