COPENHAGEN, Denmark, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- On the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of the
inaugural Global Fashion Summit, Global Fashion
Agenda (GFA) has released a special edition of
the Fashion CEO Agenda — a strategic
resource designed to steer fashion organisations towards achieving
a net positive industry by 2050. In line with the 2024 theme of
Global Fashion Summit, 'Unlocking the Next Level', this
year's Fashion CEO Agenda presents five pivotal
opportunities for fashion executives and the industry at large to
unlock transformative impact for people and planet.
In the 15 years since the inception of Global Fashion Summit in
2009, sustainability has evolved from a peripheral concern to a
central focus in the fashion business landscape, prompting
significant strides across the industry. Despite this progress, the
alarming escalation of global warming and exponential
rise in clothing production demand urgent and collective
action from fashion industry leaders.
Unlocking the next level of positive impact necessitates a
comprehensive understanding of interdependencies and system-wide
solutions. The 2024 edition of the Fashion CEO Agenda aims to
empower fashion leaders and the wider industry to embrace five key
opportunities:
- Operationalising Sustainability
- Redefining Growth
- Activating Consumers
- Prioritising People
- Mobilising Based on Materiality
Drawing from the five priorities of the Fashion CEO
Agenda-Respectful and Secure Work Environments, Better Wage
Systems, Resource Stewardship, Smart Material Choices, and Circular
Systems-this special edition highlights five cross-cutting
opportunities that will help achieve the next level of progress on
these priorities.
Tailored for fashion brands, retailers, and producers, this
edition of the Fashion CEO Agenda differs from previous
editions as it focuses on challenging norms and amplifying efforts,
and serves as a crucial inflection point for the industry to foster
positive outcomes for both society and the environment. By
upholding the rights of workers, championing diversity and
inclusivity, redefining success metrics, and reshaping growth
paradigms, profound transformation is possible.
Federica Marchionni, CEO,
Global Fashion Agenda, says: "The Fashion CEO Agenda
2024 aims to help leaders to shift their mindset, providing
clear unlocks for embracing the challenges for future proofing
their businesses and operations. I urgently encourage leaders to
work closely with cross-functional teams, use empathy, and a
values-based approach that prioritises the planet and the
well-being of the people. By doing so, we secure the foundation of
our businesses and deliver not only financial returns but also
positive impact on the world around us."
Through renowned events, impact programmes, and thought
leadership publications, GFA consistently convenes industry
pioneers, shares tangible case studies, disseminates best
practices, and highlights practical tools. While recognising the
enduring utility of these resources, stakeholders are now
encouraged to build upon existing insights and embrace increasingly
sophisticated, holistic, and human-centric opportunities to unlock
the next level of industry transformation across the entire value
chain.
The Fashion CEO Agenda 2024 is an
openly accessible resource and available to download
here.
The new publication will be explored further at Global
Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2024, taking place from 21-23
May.
