The Renowned Forum for Sustainability in Fashion
In 2009, GFA recognised the importance of placing fashion firmly on the global sustainability agenda and first introduced the pioneering forum in Copenhagen as a COP15 side event. Since its inception, the Summit has established itself as an esteemed international forum on sustainability in fashion.
Global Fashion Summit convenes major decision-makers from across the fashion ecosystem and has become the nexus for agenda-setting discussions and meetings on the most critical environmental, social, and ethical issues facing our industry and planet, all intended to spark urgent action and accelerate impact in the industry.
Building on the impact of the landmark Summit in Copenhagen, the platform was developed to be hosted in additional key regions around the world including Asia (Singapore) and North America (Boston).
What makes the Global Fashion Summit unique?
Global Fashion Summit presents an unrivalled experience for attendees who wish to hear from and connect with a breadth of fashion stakeholders. Tailored to a decision-making profile, the programme supports a range of brand functions with a focus on top management: over one-half of attendees hold roles of Director or above, with one-fifth President or C-suite.
The content is carefully curated to equip not only sustainability specialists but creatives, marketers, sourcing experts, manufacturers, policy makers and more, to ultimately remove silos and foster collaborative action. The diversity of Summit content means multiple actors from across a business or organisation can walk away with relevant knowledge to support their role in influencing the sustainability journey.
