The issue of sustainability took center stage in the fashion industry in the year 2018
In 2018, multiple brands took pragmatic steps to address their environmental impact. We take a look at some of the biggest strides made.
1. PVH Corp
PVH, the company that owns Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Speedo, signed not one but three major initiatives this year in a bid to reduce the waste generated by its fashion brands and the industry in general. The group joined the Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), a non—profit initiative that aims to boost sustainability levels within the fashion business, teamed up with Fashion For Good (FFG), an organization that supports startups in becoming more sustainable, and became a core partner and member of the Advisory Board of The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which works with businesses, government and academia to accelerate and promote a transition to a circular economy.
