What is the GFA Monitor?
The GFA Monitor has two objectives: to present industry progress on the five sustainability priorities of the Fashion CEO Agenda, and to provide a converged overview of clear actions, credible tools, solutions and proven best practices. The Fashion CEO Agenda framework which was established in 2018 puts forward a vision statement for the fashion industry that highlights the imperative need for social and environmental sustainability. The report presents guidance according to five sustainability priorities which outline opportunities for fashion companies to set fact-based sustainability strategies and take action to achieve the vision.

Measuring Industry Progress
The report draws on new insights from the Fashion Industry Target Consultation, a collaborative project by GFA and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) launched in 2022. This initiative annually evaluates industry sentiment on key milestones needed to achieve a net positive fashion sector, providing a snapshot of current target setting and measurements reporting across pivotal action areas. This year, 100 stakeholders from across six continents contributed to the consultation.
The insights are strategically placed throughout the report within their respective priority chapter, highlighting data from brands, producers/manufacturers, and the overall respondent aggregate. The full methodology and disclaimer can be found in the publication’s Annex.
Looking ahead, our vision is for the GFA Monitor to become an annual gauge of the fashion industry, delivering valuable insights and impact data, monitoring industry progress and identifying critical actions to stay aligned with the industry’s collective path forward. Learn more at here.
