Generate SBTi targets
Create an SBTi target pathway automatically from the governed baseline, scope coverage and target year.
Target setting and emission reduction for teams in the United Kingdom.
Set targets, model reduction initiatives and compare pathways against the corporate footprint—so teams in the United Kingdom can see which choices move the trajectory.

Build initiatives
Turn reduction ideas into initiatives with timing, ownership and calculation assumptions.
Compare scenarios
Group initiatives into pathways and model their effect on the corporate footprint.
Track progress
Compare measured emissions with the pathway as underlying impact data changes.
Trusted by fashion and retail teams
Start with the hotspot, not the idea list.
Use the measured footprint to locate the sources that matter most, then connect each hotspot to a reduction initiative your teams and suppliers can actually own.

Give sourcing teams the abatement potential and marginal cost of each initiative in the same decision view. When energy, operating, production and price inputs are available, Carbon Trail can calculate initiative cost automatically; teams can review or add assumptions where inputs are incomplete.
One prioritisation basisCompare carbon impact, cost and calculation provenance without moving the plan into a separate spreadsheet.

Decarbonisation questions for United Kingdom
Common questions from fashion and retail teams planning emissions reductions in United Kingdom.
Request a DemoWhat is the UK carbon management plan?
The UK government has set a legally binding target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The UK government has introduced requirements like SECR for organizations to report on their carbon emissions and reduction plans, especially for government procurement.
What is the meaning of decarbonisation?
Decarbonisation is the term used for removal or reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) output into the atmosphere. Decarbonisation can be achieved by switching to usage of alternative plant-based materials, low carbon energy sources and renewable-powered electrification.
What is a decarbonisation program for a brand in the United Kingdom?
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. For more details, read our blog on decarbonisation.
What is an example of decarbonisation in the UK fashion industry?
Stella McCartney uses responsibly sourced materials like organic cotton, synthetic silks, upcycled faux furs, and recycled polyester to decarbonise its operations. Further, it Introduced innovative alternatives like APINAT (a biodegradable rubber) in footwear and Eco Alter-Nappa (a vegan leather alternative).
Which industry is hardest to decarbonise in the United Kingdom?
Certain sectors, including energy-intensive industries, aviation, maritime, and heavy-duty vehicles in the United Kingdom, the fashion industry also posses a significant challenge with the rise of fast fashion and lack of recycling/waste management programs.
