Communication activities
Global Fashion Agenda advocates for a policy framework where legislative and policy initiatives incentivise and appropriately support the fashion industry to become sustainable and circular.
A policy brief was developed in 2017 to inform EU policy-makers about the challenges and opportunities for fashion brands in transitioning to a circular fashion system and recommends specific actions for regulators and authorities: http://globalfashionagenda.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/GFA17_Call-to-action_Poluc-brief_FINAL_9May.pdf
Since May 2019, Global Fashion Agenda´s advocacy actions on circular economy are part of the ongoing Policy Hub- circularity for apparel and footwear.
Launched by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) in collaboration with the Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI) and Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) it unites the textile industry and its stakeholders to speak in one voice; and to propose policies that accelerate circular practices in the apparel, footwear and textile sectors.
