Slow to Change, Quick to Greenwashing – case studies on fast fashion and fossil fuel adverts

This guidebook has been developed to support teachers and students in learning about greenwashing as a barrier to sustainable development.

The three parts of this series are:

The guidebook is recommended to teachers of the following post primary subjects:

  • Politics and Society (LC)
  • Geography (LC)
  • Business Studies (JC)
  • C.S.P.E / Civic Social and Political Education (JC)
  • Home Economics (JC)
//

Have you ever asked yourself, What do fashion companies and EU lobbying have to do with greenwashing, but not know where to begin your learning journey? Well, same here!

With the above in mind, we decided to create part three of the greenwashing guidebook series which explores two case studies which open up greenwashing as a ‘live issue’ based on the supply chain of the fast fashion company Shein and the activities of the European initiative to ban fossil fuels advertising.

More specifically, part three sets out to:

  • Explore two case studies through a range of readings, videos and visual materials.
  • Support hands-on opportunities for students to grapple with greenwashing as a ‘live issue’ through research, comprehension, image analysis and evaluation exercises.
  • Introduce the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate justice issues and the ‘scenarios’ approach based on governments’ anticipated and actual practices.

For more, check out:

  • The first part of the series supports teachers and students in learning about greenwashing as a barrier to sustainable development. Part one of the series begins by defining the term ‘sustainable development’ and introduces the ‘Mother of Sustainability’: Gro Harlem Brundtland.
  • The second part of the series explores questions of accountability by asking who is responsible and to blame for practices that can only be called greenwashing and what bodies actively identify and regulate and prevent such practices. Part three of the guidebook also includes seven ready-made sample examination paper questions and sample marking schemes.

Case Study 1: Shein: Empowered Agile Supply Chain or Fast Fashion Retailer?

A typical online visual marketing advert by fashion retailer Shein which displays high contrasting colours and multiple offer discounts to consumers.

Learning Outcomes

Subject Learning Outcome Learning Outcome Detail
LC Geography LO 4.5 Discuss environmental pollution at a local/national and global scale.
JC Business LO 1.9 Debate the ethical and sustainability issues that arise from their consumption of goods and services and evaluate how they can contribute to sustainable development through consumer behaviour.
LC Home Economics LO 3.8 Discuss the influences of trends and choices on textile and clothing, including ethical and ecological considerations.

Learning Intentions

We are learning to:

  1. Explain the concept and principles of fast fashion.
  2. Explore alternative solutions to fast fashion that promote sustainability and ethical production practices.

Success Criteria

By the end of this case study, students will be able to:

  1. Define fast fashion and the four principles of fast fashion.
  2. Outline the environmental consequences of fast fashion.
  3. Create a plan to make informed decisions when selecting textile and clothing products, taking into consideration ecological impacts of consumer decisions.

Introduction: What is fast fashion?

Fast fashion refers to

‘the trend of producing and selling clothing at a rapid pace, with styles changing quickly and low-cost materials being used. This results in frequent purchasing and disposing of clothes, contributing to environmental and ethical concerns’.

Throwaway & Fast Fashion by Mukesh Kumar

The principles of fast fashion can be broken down into the following four categories (summarised by Mukesh Kumar):

Speed The production and sales cycle are accelerated, with new styles being introduced rapidly.
Low-Cost Materials Clothing is made with inexpensive, low-quality materials to keep costs down.
Trend-Driven Styles are based on current fashion trends and change frequently to encourage customers to purchase new items.
Disposability The short lifespan of the clothing and its low cost encourage consumers to dispose of it quickly and purchase new items.

Activity 1.1 | Investigating Shein

Task: Read the description below to see how (in their own words) Shein’s use of a digital supply chain impacts their ability to respond to trends and consumer choices.

‘We [Shein] have built a fully digital supply chain that seamlessly and quickly delivers products to our customers worldwide. We use proprietary software to track sales and communicate with our factories in real time to order and in  small batches.  Our digital supply chain is the core of our business model and empowers  us to offer a wide range of on-trend styles … without making customers  wait weeks for their orders to be fulfilled’

-  Shein

Activity 1.2 | Think, Pair, Share

    1. In pairs, discuss if Shein’s business model aligns with the principles of fast fashion. Again, the four categories of fast-fashion are: Speed, low-cost materials, trend-driven and disposability.

    2. Respond to the statement below, by circling the appropriate box. Statement: Shein’s business model aligns with the principles of fast-fashion.
Strongly Agree Agree Neutral Strongly Disagree Disagree

      3. Justify your stance:

Criticisms Faced by Shein

Shein’s unique business model relies on an ’empowered and agile’ supply chain to quickly produce and deliver new products in response to consumer demands.

Hence, Shein (similar to many other companies that respond to fashion trends by supplying a constant demand for cheap clothing items) has quickly raised concerns about the environmental harm caused by the company and how the company may contribute to labour exploitation.

Shein's Sustainability Efforts

To mitigate against environmental degradation Shein launched a sustainability campaign in 2022.

The announcement of the sustainability campaign took place in July 2022, where Shein pledged to donate a total sum of fifteen million dollars (over three years) to a non-governmental organisation working with a textile community at Kantamanto in Accra.            

The evoluSHEIN Roadmap

In June 2023, Shein announced their evoluSHEIN Roadmap, which aims to be

‘a comprehensive strategy for addressing social and environmental challenges and making a positive impact as the company evolves into the future.’

As part of the roadmap Shein established a number of targets to achieve by 2025 and by 2030.

Graphic: Sustainability Campaign/Shein announcement on Twitter (7th June 2022)

As outlined in their sustainability and social impact report 2022, Shein is committed to advancing the United Nations Global Compact’s (UNGC) Ten Principles. 

More specifically, Shein focuses on the following three sustainability commitment goals:

1. Work to align our programs and reporting with international frameworks.

2. Strides in enhancing sustainability throughout our products’ lifecycle, from preferred materials to responsible manufacturing processes and promotion of the circular economy.

3. Development of the evoluSHEIN roadmap, which will help drive ongoing efforts while creating a baseline for us to measure our
success.

Further Reading Opportunity

Read this article by The Guardian for further information on the fifteen million dollar pledge Shein made to the charity the Or Foundation.

A Closer Look

Photograph: Dandora dumpsite in Nairobi / Ultrafast fashion in the report Poisoned Gifts by Greenpeace Germany (2022)
  • In her article ‘Ultrafast fashion giant Shein takes greenwashing to a new low: Charitywash’, Viola Wohlgemuth claims that the campaign is nothing more than a ‘greenwashing stunt’. Shein is making donations to mitigate the clean-up of the environmental waste it causes while failing to make essential changes to its business model.

  • The article also highlights how in April 2022, a ‘research team from Greenpeace Africa and Greenpeace Germany went on a research trip in Kenya and Tanzania to find out where many of the cheap clothes produced by (ultra) fast fashion brands end up once their short lives are over: on huge dump sites’ such as the Dandora dumpsite, Kenya’.

  • Furthermore, ‘the shocking pictures and stories that Greenpeace Germany published in its report Poisoned Gifts are very similar to those from Ghana where the NGO the Or Foundation, the recipient of Shein’s donation, works’.
  • Watch the video The True Cost: Who Pays the Real Price for YOUR Clothes by documentary film makers ENDEVR to learn why ‘The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically’.

  Run time: 50:55

‘Nowhere is the failure of the fast fashion linear business model more visible than in the countries where many of these cheap clothes end up once their short lives are over: on huge dump sites, burnt on open fires, along riverbeds and washed out into the sea, with severe consequences for people and the planet’

Fast Fashion & Trashion

As outlined by educators Conor Harrison and Máirín Wilson in the Civic Social and Political Education (C.S.P.E.) resource Make A Difference,

‘being fashionable has happened at the expense of the environment. Textile production, the materials needed to produce clothes, has to keep up with fast fashion. This results in significant CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions that pollute the air and exacerbate the climate crisis. The fashion industry is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions.’

‘The choice of clothing materials is a crucial element of fast fashion, with many fast-fashion retailers using non-biodegradable fabrics or cotton. The growth, manufacturing, transporting, and washing of cotton uses vast amounts of water (It takes approximately ‘2,700 litres of water to make one t-shirt’).’

Furthermore, these dyes are harmful to human health:

‘the dyes that go into the brightly coloured fast fashion pieces also pollute the environment, particularly rivers, while cheap textiles used in fast-fashion (called polyester) shed tiny microfibres that add to ocean pollution’.

Further reading opportunity

Read the infographic-driven civil society report Trashion – The stealth export of waste plastic clothes to Kenya, highlighting how fast fashion is destroying our world, explicitly referencing fashion’s environmental impact on the Global South.

  • The Trashion report exposes the hidden export of plastic waste to the Global South, fuelled by the growing production of cheap, synthetic clothing made by brands in the Global North.

‘As clothing production has skyrocketed in the past two decades, an increasing proportion of clothing is made from cheap synthetic fibres. As a result, synthetics account for sixty-nine percent of all fibre production and have become the backbone of fast fashion.’

  • Despite restrictions on plastic waste export around the world, an overwhelming volume of used synthetic clothing is shipped to Kenya, which is creating devastating consequences for the environment and communities.
  • Key Statistic: The report Trashion estimates that, in recent years, over three hundred million items of damaged or unsellable clothing made of synthetic – or plastic – fibres have been exported to Kenya.

Activity 3.1 | Moving Debate

Teacher Instructions:

Inform the class that you are going to call out the statements on the board one by one and that they are to engage in the class activity by walking to the ‘agree’ or ‘disagree’ part of the room for each statement (depending on their stance on each statement).

Statements

    1. Fast fashion has a detrimental impact on the environment and consumers should avoid fast fashion retailers.
    2. One potential solution to the negative impact of fast fashion on the environment and society is to promote the use of natural and biodegradable materials.
    3. Fast fashion companies should be held accountable for the environmental and social impact of the materials they use.

Activity 3.2 | Classroom Discussion

Inform students of the rules of classroom discussion activity. For example, only one student may speak at any given time.

Where appropriate, ask students with the ball prompt questions. For example, as outlined in the Power and People: Teacher Workbook, to facilitate a successful moving debate, consider asking students probing questions such as:

  • Why do you believe that?
  • Are you expressing a fact or an opinion?
  • Do you have any statistical evidence to back up your view?
  • Can you provide an example of this?

Activity 3.3 | Post-Moving Debate Reflection Form

Post-Moving Debate Reflection Form
1. Which of the statements above did you agree with the most? Why?
2. Which of the statements did you disagree with the most and why?
3. Did your opinion on any of the statements change during the debate?
4. Do you feel that you made a good contribution to the moving debate?
5. What can you do to ensure that you make a better contribution to the next moving debate?

Note: This reflection sheet is adapted from Power and People – A Teacher’s Resource Book by Joseph McBride, 2018: 33. 

Activity 3.4 | Research and Presentation Activity

Instructions  
  1. Divide the class into small groups (Approximately 4-5 students)

  2. Instruct students to conduct research on either A. B, C or D as an alternative to fast fashion:

A. A sustainable fashion brand

B. Local clothing swaps

C. Repairing items of clothing

D. Other appropriate option

Note: Remind students that some companies, despite being fast fashion retailers, have lines of clothing and footwear made from recycled materials

3. Ask each group to create a presentation on one sustainable fashion brand or alternative to fast fashion. The presentation should cover the following:

  • Rationale for selecting X as an alternative to fast fashion
  • Underpinning idea, mission and values
  • The materials/production methods used
  • How consumers can support the brand or alternative

Post-Presentation Discussion / Homework Task

After the presentations, discuss the following questions as a class:
1. What did you learn about sustainable fashion brands or alternatives to fast fashion?
2. How can you incorporate sustainable fashion into your consumer behaviour?
3. What are some challenges you might face when trying to buy sustainable fashion?
4. What are some strategies for overcoming these challenges?

    • Potential impact on government policy and action.
  3. Create a detailed list of recommendations individuals can undertake to respond to climate change, a core challenge currently facing the world.

Key Document

Question – what is climate change?

 Trócaire, in the document Climate Change Climate Justice defines climate change as a significant change in weather trends and patterns experienced by a region. While this can be caused by natural factors, the term climate change now describes changes in our climate as a result of human activity.

What is the Carbon Cycle?

  • NASA Earth Observatory outlines how carbon is the backbone of life on Earth. ‘We are made of carbon, we eat carbon, and our civilizations—our economies, our homes, our means of transport—are built on carbon. We need carbon, but that need is also entwined with one of the most serious problems facing us today: global climate change’.
  • Carbon is currently the dominant element in human energy use, forming the basis of coal, oil, and natural gas – hydrocarbon compounds derived from plants that remove CO2 from the atmosphere hundreds of millions of years ago’.

Watch the following video titled What is the Carbon Cycle by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

  • The video outlines how humans release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere when they burn fossil fuels for energy. This excess carbon dioxide traps heat in our atmosphere and creates climate change. When humans burn these fuels for energy, vast amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. — increasing global temperatures, causing ocean acidification, and disrupting the planet’s ecosystems.

Introducing the 'Ban Fossil Fuels Ad' Campaign

Fossil Fuels: Impact on Climate Change

Lesson Hook: Write the statement below on the whiteboard and ask the class why they think people have started fighting fossil fuel advertisements recently.

Statement:

“Activism works. If we could ban tobacco advertising and sponsorship, we can ban fossil fuel propaganda, which is needed more now than ever as the louder the call for climate policy, the more the fossil fuel industry advertises”

The Ban Fossil Fuels Ads is a European Citizens’ Initiative to Ban Fossil Ads, but what is a European Citizens’ initiative?

Key Term: European Citizen Initiative

  • As outlined by the European Commission, a European citizens’ initiative is a way for Europeans to take an active part in EU policy-making by launching a campaign which calls on the European Commission to propose new EU legislation on a particular issue.
  • As outlined by the Ban Fossil Fuels Ads Campaign, a European Citizens’ Initiative is the official petition tool that the European Commission provides for European citizens to propose new EU laws if they can generate enough support.

 

  • Quick Fact: Even if a European citizen’s initiative meets all the requirements, the proposed legislation will still be adopted, and there is no guarantee it will be adopted.

Initiative's Potential Impact on Government Policy

As outlined on the Ban Fossil Fuel Ad’s website, the common goal of those who signed the petition is to legally prevent the fossil fuel, vehicle, airline and maritime industries that use fossil fuels from advertising and sponsoring in the European Union.

Moreover, the coalition of organisations involved aim to prevent such companies from spreading climate disinformation, which delays climate action and acts as a barrier to sustainable development. This practice is well documented, such as this Guardian news report summaris, titled ‘A great deception:oil giants taken to task over ‘greenwash’ ads‘ by Damian Carrington in April 2021.

Importance of the Ban

We are in a climate crisis that is leading to a global human rights crisis of unprecedented proportions. Many communities on the front line of the climate crisis, particularly those in Africa, Asia and Latin America, are already facing the devastating consequences of more frequent and intense droughts, floods, cyclones and rising sea levels, which have also now reached Europe. For the very first time, the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report stated that corporations have attempted to derail climate mitigation by targeted lobbying, doubt-inducing media strategies and through corporate advertising and brand building to deflect corporate responsibility to individuals. This climate science report also recommends regulating corporate advertising. According to the Climate Accountability Institute, companies like Total Energies and Royal Dutch Shell, who are among the top 20 most carbon polluting fossil fuel companies in the world, continue to promote their dangerous businesses via advertisements and sponsorships.

- Ban Fossil Fuel Ads

The above quote, taken from the Ban Fossil Fuel Ads campaign’s website, concisely outlines the importance of the European Citizens’ Initiative to Ban Fossil Ads, which launched in October 2021.

A number of short videos released by the campaign group to raise awareness went viral as ‘how to’ videos from marketing and PR perspectives. Here are two:

Progress updates since the campaign launched in June 2021 include:

The role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nation’s body for assessing the science related to climate change. The IPCC prepares comprehensive Assessment Reports containing the most up-to-date ‘knowledge about the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for reducing the rate at which climate change is taking place.

When was the IPCC set up?

Trócaire, in the document Climate Change, Climate Justice 2, describes that:

  • In 1979, the first global meeting on climate took place (World Climate Conference). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up in 1988 to investigate the science of climate change.
  • In 1992, at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was signed and led to annual intergovernmental meetings called the Conference of the Parties (COP).

“This report is a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country and every sector and on every timeframe. Our world needs climate action on all fronts: everything, everywhere, all at once.” – UN secretary general, António Guterres

The IPCC publishes reports in 6 to 7 year ‘cycles’, culminating in a ‘synthesis report’ that summarises key findings across reports released across a particular cycle period.

For example, the latest IPCC Synthesis Report for the Sixth Assessment Report was released in March 2023. The IPCC always releases a 30-page summary for policymakers.

Study the Figure 2: The extent to which current and future generations will experience a hotter and different world depends on choices now and in the near future and identify the different interactive choices and actions that can shift development pathways towards sustainability.

Activity 4.3 | Comprehension Activity

Q1. Identify three enabling conditions and constraining factors associated with sustainable development.

Enabling Conditions Constraining Factors
1. 1.
2. 2.
3. 3.

Q2. Can you give an example of a situation where lack of X (any enabling condition, such as inclusive governance) could constrain collective action? Justify your answer with evidence.

Q3(a).  Research a definition for the term ‘trade-offs’.

Key Term

Key Term

●       Trade-offs

●       Synergies: The interaction or cooperation of two or more organisations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

Q. 3(b). In your opinion, what do the ‘trade-offs’ with the sustainable development goals mentioned in the image mean?

Synergies and trade-offs between climate action and the SDGs.

To understand how the achievement of one Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) can impact progress on another SDG, read the text below carefully. Note: The text is taken from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) SDG Investor Platform:

‘There are times when progress on one SDG could reduce or backtrack advances on another.Trade-offs occur because the SDGs with high trade-off percentages are focused on economic growth.For example, Reducing Poverty (SDG1) runs through several SDGs. It is statistically linked to favouring the progress of Good Health and Well-Being (SDG3), Quality Education (SDG4), Gender Equality (SDG5), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG6), and Reduced Inequalities (SDG10), according to the UN SDG Report 2021.

Being aware of the negative synergies is important. For example, Zero Hunger (SDG2) might be achieved faster at the expense of Life Below Water (SDG14), through overfishing. Another example is Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG8) could be achieved either hand-in-hand with positive climate action (SDG13) or at its expense depending on the path taken, for instance if decent work and economic growth is achieved through employment in fossil fuel extraction.

Fig.3 Synergies and trade-offs between climate action and the SDGs in 'Connecting climate action with other Sustainable Development Goals' in Nature Sustainability (Volume 2, August 2019 674–680).

Note:

  1. Each rectangle to the right of the relevant SDG logo in the diagram represents a Target.
  2. The highlighting represents the strength of an interaction.
  3. The absence of highlighting indicates the absence of identified evidence.

To explore this figure in more detail, including supplementary notes, visit the Nature Sustainability journal article Connecting climate action with other Sustainable Development Goals online.

Update: this post was updated to integrate recent developments in Shein’s sustainability efforts in mid-2023 (First published on 11/05/2023).
