The fashion and textile industry is taking actions for the environment: the Fashion Pact brings together, for the first time, the leaders of more than 60 CEOs of global companies in the sector (ready-to-wear, sport, lifestyle and luxury), including their suppliers and distributors, all committed to the common core of key environmental goals in three areas: climate, oceans and biodiversity.

The Fashion Pact aims to serve as an unequalled catalyst: to drive massive investment in and adoption of low-carbon, biodiversity-friendly, and ocean-conscious ways of doing business across all of the fashion industry. Launched at the occasion of the G7 summit in Biarritz in 2019, The Fashion Pact has grown from 32 signatories to 75 companies-members across 17 countries. Today, the initiative represents some 160 brands, or 30% of the global fashion industry in terms of volume.

Beyond existing progress in sustainability in recent years, The Fashion Pact applies the power of collective action and CEO leadership to address barriers to progress and drive system change across three main pillars: climate, biodiversity and oceans.

The Fashion Pact Goals

Climate Pillar: Implementation of Science Based Targets for Climate to achieve net-zero by 2050. Members should have a near-term climate target covering scope 1, 2 and 3, validated by the SBTi and in line with SBTi requirements.  

Biodiversity Pillar: Development and implementation of strategies and Science Based Targets for Nature.

Oceans Pillar: Reduction of negative impact the fashion has on the ocean environment and waterways.

As environmental and social priorities rise to the forefront of industry agendas, initiatives like The Fashion Pact help drive positive change through collaboration. Coming at this from a unified, collective position at this scale shows how serious the fashion industry is about working together to make tangible action to protect our planet.
