Coming off of their first joint event last week in Singapore that drew hundreds, the Sustainable Apparel Coalition and Global Fashion Agenda are among those announcing new partnerships at the COP27 climate summit.
Environment Program called the “Fashion Industry Target Consultation.” The project will be a multi-stakeholder initiative led by GFA.
“The [Global Fashion Summit] is just one avenue through which we cultivate change,” said Marchionni. “As another example, our impact programs including the Circular Fashion Partnership and the Global Circular Fashion Forum exist to facilitate tangible change on the ground. Through new partnerships we have in the pipeline to launch at COP27, we endeavor to really push the industry forward in a unified route of travel.
“Both organizations [the SAC and GFA] are in agreement that there is an urgent need to define ‘better’ data and close data gaps,” Amina Razvi, SAC executive director, told WWD. “Over the last decade, the SAC together with its members have gathered a wealth of verified data, which has led to increased transparency and enabled more informed decisions. However, more is urgently needed to fill existing gaps.
