Sustainability Basics: Where a Garment's Footprint Is Decided
You take one polo order at one knit factory and measure it on that factory's own meters. You see where the energy and the water actually go, and who decides them. And you see why the sewing floor, which gets nearly every improvement project, moves less than a tenth of the total. No published averages are quoted, and the course says why.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a certificate and say exactly what it does and does not cover, assemble the evidence chain behind a fibre claim, and tell a buyer honestly which of their asks you can prove today and which you cannot.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a measured consumption file for one order. You turn your own meters into a figure per kilogram of cloth and per garment. You state a boundary, and a basis for any share-out. You name the four upstream decisions that moved the figure, with a number against each. You keep what is attributed to a loss apart from what fixing it would recover. And you write a claim a buyer can check.
