16 August 2016 – China Water Risk publishes a new brief “Today’s Fight for the Future of Fashion – Is there room for fast fashion in a Beautiful China?”. The brief summarises water risks faced by the global fashion industry against a backdrop of a Beautiful China “where the sky is blue, the land is green and the water runs clear”. Also explored are opportunities and the “future of fashion”.

Key risks and opportunities covered in the brief are:

• Short-term risks: Water Ten Plan;
• Stricter enforcement: new environmental law & policies;
• Long-term risks: high raw material exposure, soil clean-up & ‘Made In China 2025’;
• High reputational risk: continued NGO pressure & the new Chinese consumer;
