PrettyLittleThing operates a linear fast-fashion model with zero quantified sustainability governance at brand level. No emissions data, water management, or biodiversity policy exist. The company relies on virgin synthetics and low-cost disposables while greenwashing through a resale app—a strategy explicitly rejected by regulators after a 2024 CMA investigation.
Same formula for every company. No curve. No private weighting.
