Global Fashion Summit
Global Fashion Summit is presented by Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) – a non-profit organisation that fosters industry collaboration on sustainability in fashion to accelerate impact. With a 15-year foundation as the leading forum for sustainability in fashion, Global Fashion Summit is synonymous with the sustainability zeitgeist.
Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2025 will be taking place from 3 to 5 June 2025. Stay tuned for more information!
Unlocking the Next Level
Summit Theme 2024
With deadlines for pledges made over the previous 15 years looming, the industry must now implement further actions that ambitiously address societal and environmental impacts and challenge the existing paradigm.
The fashion industry is operating in turbulent times. But instead of becoming an afterthought, sustainability must be framed as a strategy for industry resilience. Global Fashion Summit will offer a moment to reenergise industry efforts: taking stock of change that has happened and can happen if we unlock it collectively. We are already in a climate crisis and the age of concepts and commitments is over – it is time to see near-term goals be implemented.
15-Years of Activating Impact
The 2024 Summit marked a significant milestone for GFA, as it signified 15 years since the inaugural Global Fashion Summit was hosted in 2009. The forum had evolved into an unmissable date in the fashion calendar for those wishing to stay ahead on sustainability priorities, gain tangible updates on policy developments, explore new innovations, and reflect on sociocultural influences in the ever-changing fashion landscape.
The Summit’s extensive programme was structured around unlocking solutions to fashion’s biggest sustainability barriers, no matter where on the sustainability journey your organisation was. With a continued commitment to innovation and accelerated action, our global sector’s most credible visionaries took to our historic stage and spoke to the transformative shifts required to take fashion’s sustainability impact to the next level.
Recognising that everyone was operating from a different baseline, Global Fashion Summit content was tailored to suit the needs of those across a vast sector spectrum. Intersectional solutions and diverse knowledge inputs were needed to reach our vision of a Net Positive industry.
Let that Summit serve as an inflection point as we worked to unlock a flourishing fashion industry which cultivated prosperity for our planet and its communities. By convening fashion’s most creative vanguards, attendees experienced rich dialogues and case studies that leveraged the next level for our industry.
