[1] The Policy Hub – Circularity for Apparel and footwear unites the apparel and footwear industry to develop ambitious policies that accelerate sustainable practices. It represents more than 700 apparel & footwear stakeholders, including brands, retailers, manufacturers, and NGOs. It gathers the technical expertise and knowledge from members of its partner organisations: Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) and the Federation of European Sporting Goods (FESI). In close collaboration with policymakers, the Policy Hub draws on these technical inputs to propose ambitious policies for the textiles industry in Europe.
