An initiative launched at the Future for Fashion event has been the Pact for Sustainable Fashion,<\/a> with the participation of researchers, university students and companies in the the fashion industry from the last two countries to have hosted the aforementioned climate summits, Spain and Scotland. This pact aims to revolutionize the fashion industry<\/strong> by inviting large companies within the fashion industry to implement three specific actions in their production processes<\/strong>: contribute to the sustainability of the planet from within the company, measure the sustainability actions that are implemented and inspire society in terms of sustainability.<\/p>\n

The pact consists of companies designing a KPI<\/strong>, or indicator that measures the impact of a specific action or process. The signatory companies will be in charge of designing and implementing this indicator, whatever it may be, as part of their company policies. Subsequently, they will have to present their results and make them public, so that, if it is a useful indicator, it can be adopted by other companies<\/strong> and claimed by consumers.<\/p>\n

“The original idea was to introduce sustainability in hiring, organizational changes or in the supply chain, but the power of this pact lies in the ease that others have to copy them<\/strong>, in making the change go viral. It’s not about companies looking for complicated formulas for changing things, rather that this is a way to combat greenwashing,” says Esteban Gal\u00e1n<\/a>, professor at Campus Gandia of the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia (UPV) and researcher in the SFES project<\/a>, which aims to embrace the implementation of sustainability strategies and foster employability skills for the fashion industry. The project is led by the Glasgow Caledonian University with five European academic partners.<\/p>\n
