    GFA has secured a grant from UNIDO within the Switch to Circle Economy programme for the total amount of €738,000,- in the period January 2022 to December 2025, identified under UNIDO Project No.: 190161. The grant is for a specific programme GFA is realizing in Bangladesh, as described in the contract with UNIDO: UNIDO contracts GFA for the provision of services to scale traceable textile recycling with Bestseller’s suppliers in Bangladesh, to capture and valorise high volumes of their post –industrial textile waste through a circular system that brings greater value and resilience to local manufacturers in the textile and garment sector as part of the “switch to circular economy value chains project (switch2ce).

    Communication activities

    Through policy engagement, GFA proactively advocates for legislation and supportive measures that reinforce sustainability targets and incentivise necessary change.

    We envision a policy framework where legislative and policy initiatives incentivise and appropriately support the fashion industry to become circular and thus more sustainable. Global Fashion Agenda proactively advocates for policy changes and supportive measures that reinforce sustainability targets and prompt policymakers to take informed action to foster necessary change.

    Our goal is to convene and connect relevant policymakers with fashion industry decision-makers in a collaborative effort to effectively accelerate the fashion industry’s sustainability performance. We aim to reach this goal by educating policymakers about the issues at hand and ensuring policy developments provide support to the industry’s sustainability efforts. The evidence in Global Fashion Agenda’s core publications (e.g. Fashion CEO Agenda) underpins our policy discussions, providing hard facts to guide the industry forward.

    GFA´s policy events include:
    -on 7 July 2020 on the impact of COVID-19 on the EU textile policy with important stakeholder voices as speakers, including Commissioner Sinkevičius.
    -on 19 May 2021 on the Policy Gaps & Opportunities related to each of the 5 Fashion CEO Agenda priorities (Respectful and Secure Work Environments, Better Wage Systems, Circular Systems, Efficient Use of Resources and Smart Material Choice).
    -Policy roundtables during GFA´s Global Fashion Summits.

    Global Fashion Agenda is a founding member of the Policy Hub- circularity for apparel and footwear. The Policy Hub unites the apparel and footwear industry to speak in one voice and propose policies that accelerate circular practices. Launched in 2019, the Policy Hub currently has 3 partner organisations: Cascale, Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) &the Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI). In total, these organisations represent more than 700 apparel & footwear stakeholders including brands, retailers, manufacturers, and NGOs. https://www.policyhub.org

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
