It guides a growing community of brands, manufacturers, and farmers towards more purposeful production from the very start of the supply chain. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">By 2030, its goal is to guide the industry to achieve a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions within fiber and raw material production. Its focus is holistic and interconnected, accelerating the adoption of practices that improve the state of our water, soil health, and biodiversity too. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">For real change to happen, everyone needs a clear path to positive impact. That’s why Textile Exchange believes that approachable, step-by-step instruction paired with collective action can change the system to make preferred materials and fibers an accessible default, mobilizing leaders through attainable strategies, proven solutions, and a driven community. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">At Textile Exchange, materials matter.
