A Producer-Led Framework for Prioritizing
Decarbonization Investments
LAUNCHING
This tool is a collaborative project commissioned and led by Elevate Textiles, Epic Group and Shahi Exports, with support from GIZ FABRIC and technical partner Grant Thornton Bharat.
Despite rising climate targets across the fashion industry, the practical path to achieving them at the factory level remains unclear.
Bang for Buck is a producer-led framework that helps manufacturers prioritize the most cost-effective decarbonization investments in their facilities. The framework creates a shared foundation for more practical, collaborative climate action across the supply chain.
Here’s what Bang for Buck means for you
The framework sets out clear calls to action for key stakeholders:
PRODUCERS
1/5
Use the Bang for Buck framework to identify facility-level decarbonization opportunities, build a company-wide roadmap, secure internal buy-in and financing, collaborate with brand partners, and support the expansion of the framework to cover more interventions and geographies.
BRAND PARTNERS
2/5
Enable suppliers to follow the Bang for Buck framework by aggregating data, identifying barriers, providing targeted support, and contributing to the framework’s expansion to maximize impact across the supply chain.
Financial Institutions, Service Providers & DFIs
3/5
Leverage aggregated Bang for Buck data to move from project-level financing to scalable, pipeline-based investment solutions that align with factory decision-making, while supporting the framework’s continued growth and adoption.
Multistakeholder Organizations & Ecosystem Players
4/5
Integrate the Bang for Buck framework into programs and collaborations to help factories prioritize cost-effective decarbonization actions, align stakeholders on shared barriers, and actively support the framework’s expansion.
Philanthropic Organizations
5/5
Invest in and promote adoption of the Bang for Buck framework across factories and the wider ecosystem to scale actionable, financially feasible decarbonization interventions, while funding its ongoing expansion and development.

JOIN OUR WEBINARS
To support the launch of Bang for Buck, we are hosting two types of webinars designed for different audiences across the fashion value chain.
FRAMEWORK OVERVIEW
Wednesday 13 May | 4pm CEST
This session is particularly useful to brands, retailers, financial institutions, development organizations, and anyone else looking to understand how to better support manufacturers in their decarbonization journey. It will also be useful to individuals working within manufacturing who are not in a technical role.

A PRODUCER-LED APPROACH
This tool is a collaborative project commissioned and led by Elevate Textiles, Epic Group and Shahi Exports, with support from GIZ FABRIC and technical partner Grant Thornton Bharat. Bang for Buck is facilitated by the Fashion Producer Collective.
This project was developed collaboratively by suppliers across production tiers and geographies—many of them direct competitors—working together to address shared decarbonisation challenges. Facilitated by the Fashion Producer Collective (FPC), the project’s approach reflects our producer-led model: a safe, opt-in environment that enables manufacturers to share knowledge, build community, and make transparent, collective decisions.
Grounded in our mission to strengthen manufacturers’ influence over sustainability, this work positions producers not just as implementers, but as co-creators of change, in ways that inspire, not compel.
