Global Fashion Agenda Releases 2023 Fashion CEO Agenda

30 September 2023, Mumbai

On the occasion of the Global Fashion Summit: Boston Edition 2023, Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) has released the 2023 edition of the Fashion CEO Agenda, a concise report to support the establishment and implementation of leadership strategies to achieve a net positive fashion sector.

SDGs

With less than seven years to deliver on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, fashion industry leaders must take urgent steps to make sustainability an integral part of their business strategies.

Action areas outlined in the report include promoting worker access to effective grievance mechanisms, promoting fair compensation and living wages, establishing water stewardship, and addressing overproduction.

Outlines

The report reiterates the need to adopt existing industry-aligned targets, including UNFCCC's time-bound targets on de-carbonisation and the uptake of preferred and low climate impact materials.

To complement the Fashion CEO Agenda, GFA has created a 2030 Fashion Sector Vision, which presents where the overall sector should be in relation to each of the five sustainability priority areas within only seven years.

GFA now calls on fashion leaders to align their corporate strategies to the priorities and actions laid out in the Fashion CEO Agenda and for the wider sector to support in fostering a conducive environment for scaling this transformation.
