About the case study you will work on!​

How can technology be harnessed to drive sustainable transformation in the apparel industry by reducing fabric waste, optimizing resource consumption, or transitioning to eco-friendly materials?

The apparel industry is known for its substantial consumption of natural resources, with vast amounts of water and energy being used throughout the production process.

Creating a single garment consumes up to 1000 L of water, generates fabric waste through inefficient cutting, and relies on non-sustainable synthetic fibers, significantly amplifying the industry's environmental footprint.

This combination of high resource consumption and waste makes the need for more sustainable practices increasingly urgent.

Our mission for you

As a major player in the fashion sector, our goal is to minimize fabric losses during the design process, promote the use of eco-friendly materials in our collections, and reduce water and energy usage in our textile production facilities.

As a consultant at Accenture, how would you approach this mission?
