In October 2021, COP26 brought together many fashion brands and highlighted the need for sustainability within the industry. The event resulted in a new version of the United Nations Environment Program’s fashion industry char, launched in 2018, which now includes 130 signatories - including Adidas, Burberry, Gap Inc, Kering, Nike and more.Evolving attitudes and changing priorities among brands, retailers and consumers are creating demand for greater sustainability and transparency - starting at the seed and continuing throughout the entire supply chain. In fact, the updated fashion industry char highlights the need for collective action in sustainability. It focuses on the need to achieve net-zero emissions globally by 2050, readdressing supply chains, and a shift in attitude from profit driven to well-being of the planet.
