MOVING THE FASHION INDUSTRY TOWARD A MOREÂ SUSTAINABLE AND CONSCIOUS FUTURE
Informa Markets recently launched Good4Fashion, a partnership between the Conscious Fashion Campaign in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We have identified four pillars including social responsibility, responsible production, ethical practices, and eco/animal-friendly practices, which speak to Informa Markets’ commitment to sustainability and social responsibility as it pertains to the fashion industry.Â
In 2019, there were over 350 participating Good4Fashion brands between the MAGIC and COTERIE marketplaces. And this season, exhibiting brands within Informa Markets' fashion portfolio that qualify for Good4Fashion will be highlighted in their respective marketplace's mobile app as part of our product category attributions. This "Buyers Guide" will be a featured section on the app with linkable brand lists.
The Good4Fashion team is also putting together a streamlined educational seminar track on sustainability for MAGIC this February 2020. Stay tuned for more details on both initiatives!
