As part of its journey to address climate change, Lojas Renner SA launched its first Climate Adaptation Guide for its supply chain in 2024, aiming to support companies in the fashion supply chain in understanding and preparing for climate risks. The initiative stemmed from the understanding that the business's climate resilience depends on the adaptive capacity of the entire value chain. The material, unprecedented in the sector at the time, was developed collaboratively and translates technical concepts into practical guidelines. It offers tools for analyzing physical risks and opportunities, best practices for adaptation, and examples applicable to the context of the textile industry.

Business resilience depends on the adaptation of the entire value chain.

Methodology

The process of developing Lojas Renner's Climate Adaptation Guide involved four main stages. First, risk identification, which mapped the main climate threats to the company's value chain (tier 1), using IPCC climate scenario modeling and primary data from the chain itself. Next, there was active listening with suppliers to understand the main challenges related to the topic. In the third stage, the content was co-created with the participation of experts, translating technical concepts, presenting the main threats by region of the country, and proposing a method for developing action plans to address these risks; the guide is aligned with the TCFD guidelines. Finally, dissemination took place during the Supply Chain's sustainability innovation fair and through the company's official channels, ensuring wide distribution of the material.

Active listening with suppliers to identify challenges and vulnerabilities.
