At the Global Fashion Summit 2023 hosted by @GFAgenda, we engaged with conversations that foster industry collaboration on sustainability in fashion to drive impact!
Hakan Karaosman emphasized the need for the industry to include supply chain actors like suppliers, workers, unions, and not-for-profit organizations, in decision-making, bringing focus on representation and the importance of co-creating solutions from the ground-up!
Below are some of the key takeaways from Eshika Gombar, Senior Partnerships Manager at GBL, who attended this event!
👉Joint sovereignty between brands, suppliers, and worker representatives is key to the success of the International Accord.
👉Standardized tools and KPIs can be inefficient for problems that are context-specific, such as those related to transition.
👉Increasing awareness among consumers about sustainability is becoming a driving force for leading brands to invest in environmental and social innovation.
👉Building a business case for providing incentives to suppliers for adopting energy-efficient technologies should be explored.
✨In the coming years, we hope to see an increased representation of supply chain actors from the Global South, including suppliers, academia, not-for-profit organizations, worker unions, among others! #GlobalFashionSummit #Sustainability #SustainableFashion
