Making progressPending Review

Selfridges has set absolute emissions reduction targets and claims 100% renewable energy, but lacks verified post-2022 emissions data to substantiate progress. Supply chain oversight remains incomplete—only 19% of 4,900 suppliers assessed—and the company quietly exited The Fashion Pact without explanation. Circular economy initiatives exist but lack measured outcomes.
