Industry Ensurance: Fashion & Lifestyle | Consumer Goods Sector

The lifestyle and fashion industry significantly depends on nature and is vulnerable to climate and nature-related risks. Clean air is crucial for production processes and worker health. Clean water is essential for textile dyeing and processing, while water abundance supports cotton cultivation and other raw materials. Healthy soils are vital for growing natural fibers like cotton, hemp, and bamboo. Climate stability ensures predictable growing seasons and supply chains. Risk resilience allows the industry to adapt to climate change impacts. Erosion control preserves fertile lands needed for fiber production, preventing degradation and ensuring sustainable sourcing.

Certificates of Ensurance, by BASIN, reduce these risks and increase resilience. Each certificate is a share in the BASIN Protocol which ensures the RealValue of Natural Capital in perpetuity.

Certificate purchases of this flow fund 14 stocks (ecosystems) and eight flows (ecosystem services) of natural capital. Proceeds directly support on the ground nature and climate projects that bolster the fashion and lifestyle industry.
