Planet
Even though the first generation heightened the social and economic values of climate change as a worldwide and disregarding issue, the younger generation gratify the real meaning of sustainability and how to amplify the facing issues and problems of the environment. Sustainability is the societal necessities and requirements in the absence of future dilemmas, such as many fashion brands focusing on the current issues on our planet so far, without compromising the future. Planet, which consists one of the four pillars of sustainability, implies how our current generation use the planets assets to combine and prevent coherent desecration in the fashion industry.
The fashion world reinforces the sustainable side of planet by the 17 SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals), which were created particularly to idealise the worlds problems. Although many brands in the fashion industry reflect upon these goals, newer brands who have entered into the fashion business should indicate sustainability throughout their creation of garments in their business; whether this is through the environmental, social and governance (ESG) policy and sustainable legalisation (Moran, G. (2022)). In terms of fashion sustainability, SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, can effectively be viewed upon by the fast fashion industry. Fast Fashion has huge downsides on climate change and the environment of the planet; such as the exploitation of unemployed workers, discarded clothing filled over land, and carbon emissions overall. The fast fashion industry is mainly accountable for the increase of global carbon emissions of 10%. This SDG also objectifies the innovative creations of designs, whether this is textile consumption, which has made a huge sustainable impact on the planet by the municipal waste of textiles.
Furthermore, Conde Nast has had a huge impact on sustainability for our planet. The company has reduced the brands cooperative greenhouse gas emissions by 59% since 2018, committed to eliminate all single-use plastic by 2025, and to become carbon neutral by 2030 (condenast.com. 2020 Sustainability Report Phase One), and many more effective ways to narrow carbon emissions in sustainable ways. Such a huge company like Conde Nast shows the planet how to make fashion acceptable, and to decrease these matters of how newer brands should cooperate their business in terms of how to be sustainable, and should be disregarding the means on how to be successful and to rather focus on our planet.
