  1. US pulls back on sustainability, but India’s apparel industry stays green With the US scaling back its focus on climate action, industry leaders give their opinions regarding its impact on the sustainability efforts of apparel manufacturers and their future trajectory. “Drill, baby, drill!” That was US President Donald Trump’s rallying cry to fossil fuel companies, urging them to keep extracting with no holds barred. At the same time, he has also dismissed climate change as a ‘hoax’ and withdrew from the Paris Agreement, signalling a major shift in environmental priorities. And when the most powerful country changes direction, it’s like a train engine changing course—the coaches behind it naturally follow. But will the apparel industry be pulled along or will it stay on its path? With the US scaling back its focus on climate action, we asked industry leaders: Will this lead to a decline in sustainability efforts amongst apparel manufacturers, increase the use of fossil fuels and disrupt global supply chains? Or will the industry continue its sustainability efforts, no matter what? This is particularly crucial for India because the US is the largest export destination for Indian textiles and apparel, accounting for 28 per cent of India’s total textile and apparel exports, which were valued at US $ 36 billion in fiscal 2024. Now, a good chunk of these exports focus on sustainability, as brands and customers want more eco-friendly and responsibly made products.
