ZUG - The fashion industry will not become 'sustainable' under current business practices - but 'sustainability' could be possible within 16 years if key changes are made, according to a new report.
Entitled The Future of Sustainability in the Fashion Industry, the report was commissioned by the C&A Foundation and carried out by consultants Future Impacts and 4CF who questioned carefully selected experts from across the global industry.
If present trends continued, three-quarters of the experts concluded it would be impossible to achieve a net-positive impact on the natural environment while 62% thought poor working conditions and poverty would remain unresolved.
