Social and environmental sustainability in fashion sheds light on several issues, ranging from overproduction and brand pollution, to poor conditions for garment workers. With the resulting demand for sustainable fashion, organizations in the industry, including federations, fashion weeks, luxury houses, and fast fashion brands are challenged to adjust their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts and transparency accordingly.
For this reason, independent fashion organizations are dedicated to increasing attention to the urgency of issues related to sustainability – social or environmental. This collective action is driving a massive transformation in the fashion sector towards circularity, which is ultimately shaping the fashion news agenda of diverse media platforms.
Given the relevance of this topic, FashionUnited has a dedicated page to provide professionals and businesses with an overview of the latest news and innovations around sustainability in the fashion industry.
