About EFF
Our vision
The Ethical Fashion Forum aims to develop a collaborative movement which will transform social and environmental standards in the fashion industry within a decade.
Our mission
The mission of the Ethical Fashion Forum is to SUPPORT and PROMOTE sustainable practices, facilitate COLLABORATION, raise AWARENESS and provide the TOOLS AND RESOURCES needed to reduce poverty, reduce environmental damage and raise standards in the fashion industry.
Our story
In 2004, on a grey January day in London, a group of determined fashion designers and business people sat around a table to discuss the challenges they faced and what they could do about it…

“A place for sharing, support and inspiration- its energy and ambition is a tribute to all the members who have chosen to create a world with everyone included, from field to factory to finished product.” THTC
The EFF approach is:
INCLUSIVE
Open to designers, retailers, buyers, fair trade producers, manufacturers, NGO’s, fashion students and tutors, consumers… The EFF aims to provide a platform for shared practices, pooling resources, communication and links across the industry.
PROGRESSIVE
Complex, global supply chains make it difficult for fashion companies to implement sustainable standards in a single step. The EFF encourages progressive, structured practices towards sustainability.
GRASS ROOTS
Founded by fashion designers and businesses in response to challenges to sustainable practices, the EFF has been designed and developed by the industry, for the industry.
NOT FOR PROFIT
EFF is a not for profit organisation, focused upon poverty reduction, education and the environment, in relation to the fashion industry. It is run by a representative board.
