Summary

A case study of ASOS transition to more sustainable cotton. In 2012, ASOS took its first steps to sustainable sourcing by signing up to The Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP) which aims to assess clothing across its lifecycle to find ways to make it less wasteful, and to work with signatories to reduce their impacts by 15% by 2020.
