Aii is testing the benchmark with facilities and brands and collecting qualitative feedback on applicability and ease of use through January 2026. Stakeholders can submit written feedback via survey or by emailing benchmark@apparelimpact.org. 

During this consultation period, Aii will also host informational webinars to answer any questions and gather input. Aii and the Technical Review Committee will review feedback and use it to inform refinements ahead of the publication of Version 1.0 in January 2026.

We are seeking participants with expertise in energy systems, emissions estimation, methodology development, and/or benchmark creation to ensure the review process is robust and well-informed. If you are interested in joining the Technical Review Committee, please email us at benchmark@apparelimpact.org with the subject line “Carbon Benchmark Technical Review Committee.”
