Overview
Global Fashion Agenda is a non-profit that accelerates sustainability in fashion by coordinating industry collaboration through forums, policy work, thought leadership, and education. It works by mobilizing stakeholders, publishing guidance and data, running collaborative programs, and connecting actors with actions and policies to move the industry toward tangible, measurable impact. It differentiates itself as an ecosystem-wide, globally coordinated platform with policy influence and long-running partnerships, not a for-profit product or consultancy. Its goal is to drive a net-positive fashion industry by speeding up impact across the entire value chain.
