Co-Creating Tomorrow: Unified Action for People & Planet
Focusing on tangible outcomes, the forum will deliver actionable insights, practical tools, and transformative solutions to empower the entire value chain to meet our aligned industry goals of combating climate change and supporting decent work for all. In this pre-competitive space, we’ll confront the reality that sustainability is no longer optional—it’s a business imperative.
Foundational Environmental Performance >
Ensuring consistent, minimum benchmarks in environmental performance is crucial for creating a sustainable future. By aligning key industry players around clear environmental expectations and using data-driven insights, we can create a unified approach to achieving safer, more responsible practices across the supply chain.
Decarbonization >
The transition to a low-carbon future requires a global, industry-wide approach. By driving collaboration between manufacturers, brands, and stakeholders, and focusing on key areas such as energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and coal phase-out, the fashion industry can make substantial progress toward meeting the 1.5°C climate target.
Responsible Purchasing Practices >
Fair and responsible purchasing practices are essential to creating a more equitable, resilient, and productive supply chain. Empowering facilities with better planning capabilities, improved labor conditions, and fair wages will help drive both economic and social sustainability across the value chain.
Reducing Audit Fatigue >
In an effort to streamline auditing processes, the fashion industry must focus on reducing duplication and supplier fatigue. By converging auditing outcomes and fostering a unified approach, the sector can achieve consistent improvements in labor conditions and create a more efficient and less burdensome compliance environment for suppliers.
