Decarbonization Software in Italy

Italy aims to reduce CO2 emissions in accordance with the European targets established by the Green Deal: 43.7% by 2030 (compared to 2005 levels) and Net zero by 2050.

Decarbonisation software is emerging as a critical tool for fashion retail to effectively manage their environmental impact and transition towards achieving a net-zero future. The advanced platforms are using AI to automate repetitive tasks, build advanced scenario models, and generate recommendations for the most impactful and low-cost climate initiatives.

A decarbonisation program is a structured plan aimed at reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, within a fashion brand or retailer. Most effective decarbonisation plans require close collaboration with textile manufacturers, climate investors or institutional funds, and internal stakeholders.

Italy’s fashion brands are pioneering the transition to sustainability with a series of groundbreaking innovations in natural materials and recycling. Sicilian startup Orange Fiber is extracting cellulose from the peel of citrus fruits to create a fabric used in fashion items, including a range by Salvatore Ferragamo.

Certain sectors, like Cement, Steel, Chemicals, and Paper are hardest to decarbonise in Italy. The fashion retail industry also posses a significant challenge with the rise of fast fashion and lack of recycling/waste management programs.
