How We Accelerate Impact
GFA provides in-depth analysis and reports based on the latest industry data. It specialises in communicating complex sustainability content in a compelling and actionable manner and is responsible for leading industry publications such as The GFA Monitor, Fashion CEO Agenda, Fashion on Climate, Scaling Circularity and Pulse of the Fashion Industry.
We also design impact programmes such as the Renewable Energy Initiative and the Global Circular Fashion Forum which facilitate actionable programmes in key manufacturing regions.
Our Global Fashion Summit is a multi-stakeholder event renowned as a nexus for agenda-setting discussions on the most critical environmental, ethical and social issues. Its Innovation Forum is a key platform to connect fashion leaders with some of the most promising solution providers.
Through policy engagement, GFA proactively advocates for policy change and supportive measures that reinforce sustainability targets and incentivise necessary change.
