The GFA Policy Matrix: Asia is an evolving resource designed to comprehensively document the policy landscape relevant to sustainability in the fashion industry in Asia. Much like its counterparts, the GFA Policy Matrix: EU, and the GFA Policy Matrix: Americas, this publication serves as a practical reference for industry stakeholders, policymakers, sustainability advocates, and other stakeholders interested in deciphering the intricacies of policies related to textiles.
A COMPREHENSIVE resource
The GFA Policy Matrix: EU is a non-exhaustive document that encapsulates a wide array of policy efforts in Asia. Our goal is to offer a holistic perspective on the current policy initiatives in place, in development, or upcoming, which address critical sustainability and social issues within the fashion industry.
a focus ON KEY MANUFACTURING COUNTRIES
The GFA Policy Matrix: Asia currently focuses on policy initiatives in eight manufacturing countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, The People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, and Vietnam, as they represent a significant share of the region’s textile and garment production and play a key role in global supply chains, making their policy environments particularly influential for sustainability outcomes.

We strongly encourage stakeholders from all corners of the industry to actively participate in the evolution of this matrix. Your insights and suggestions are invaluable in ensuring that we capture the full spectrum of relevant policy initiatives. We invite you to share your knowledge and recommendations by sending them to publicaffairs@globalfashionagenda.org.
