PHNOM PENH: Major fashion brands like Hermes, Nike and Lululemon are facing accusations of climate “greenwashing”, with a new report from international non-government watchdog Business & Human Rights Resource Centre claiming that their bold decarbonisation pledges overlook the plight of garment workers in Cambodia.
The report, The Missing Thread, suggests that while 44 of 65 global brands commit to cutting emissions by 2030, none have plans to protect workers from climate impacts or job disruptions in key manufacturing hubs like the Kingdom.
