JOIN THE ETHICAL FASHION FORUM
The Ethical Fashion Forum (EFF) is a new kind of trade association for the fashion industry, led by businesses, for businesses, and focused on social and environmental sustainability.
The fashion industry remains one of the most exploitative in the world, both to people and the environment. Inhuman working conditions, poverty wages and shocking environmental damage are widespread.
The Ethical fashion Forum aims to:
• Make sure that every single UK fashion business is aware of how they can become more sustainable, why it is important, and where to find the tools to do so
• Achieve broad and fundamental change towards better practices in the fashion industry within the next 10 years
• Create a model and precedent for industry change which can be drawn from and built upon by other industries
The EFF approach is:
INCLUSIVE: Open to designers, retailers, buyers, fair trade producers, manufacturers, NGO’s, fashion students and tutors, consumers… The EFF provides 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 A membership organisation, the EFF is focused upon
poverty reduction, education and the environment, in relation to the
fashion industry.
