Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Environment and climate; Single market, industry, and entrepreneurship; Employment and social rights; Research and innovation.
Communication Activities: Through policy engagement, GFA proactively advocates for legislation and supportive measures that reinforce sustainability targets and incentivise necessary change. We envision a policy framework where legislative and policy initiatives incentivise and appropriately support the fashion industry to become circular and thus more sustainable. Global Fashion Agenda proactively advocates for policy changes and supportive measures that reinforce sustainability targets and prompt policymakers to take informed action to foster necessary change. Our goal is to convene and connect relevant policymakers with fashion industry decision-makers in a collaborative effort to effectively accelerate the fashion industry’s sustainability performance. We aim to reach this goal by educating policymakers about the issues at hand and ensuring policy developments provide support to the industry’s sustainability efforts. The evidence in Global Fashion Agenda’s core publications (e.g. Fashion CEO Agenda) underpins our policy discussions, providing hard facts to guide the industry forward. GFA´s policy events include: -on 7 July 2020 on the impact of COVID-19 on the EU textile policy with important stakeholder voices as speakers, including Commissioner Sinkevičius. -on 19 May 2021 on the Policy Gaps & Opportunities related to each of the 5 Fashion CEO Agenda priorities (Respectful and Secure Work Environments, Better Wage Systems, Circular Systems, Efficient Use of Resources and Smart Material Choice). -Policy roundtables during GFA´s Global Fashion Summits. Global Fashion Agenda is a founding member of the Policy Hub- circularity for apparel and footwear. The Policy Hub unites the apparel and footwear industry to speak in one voice and propose policies that accelerate circular practices. Launched in 2019, the Policy Hub currently has 3 partner organisations: Cascale, Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) &the Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI).
