The Ethical Fashion Forum (EFF) is a network of designers, businesses
and organisations focusing upon social and environmental sustainability in the fashion industry.


The EFF aims to reduce poverty and create sustainable livelihoods by supporting, promoting and facilitating innovative values led business practices within the garment industry.

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.
