New Look reports SBTi-validated carbon targets and has achieved 22% Scope 1&2 reductions, but water data is entirely absent and renewable energy coverage remains unquantified. Biodiversity risk assessment is missing despite cotton and viscose sourcing. The fast fashion business model—high volume, rapid turnover—fundamentally conflicts with resource efficiency claims.
New Look scores 34/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places New Look joint 505th of 847 companies scored, and joint 3rd of 21 in Apparel (Fast Fashion).
