As the Fashion Pact produces its first annual report, the initiative's executive director and secretary general Eva von Alvensleben gives Ecotextile News an update on how she rates its progress so far and maps the path ahead.
Now representing a third of the global industry, the Fashion Pact has come a long way since French President Emmanuel Macron tasked Kering's François-Henri Pinault with bringing together leading players to reduce fashion's environmental impact.
One year on, Von Alvensleben underestimates neither the size nor the urgency of the challenge of achieving progress in its three priority areas of climate, biodiversity and oceans.
