The global fashion industry is amongst the most wasteful and polluting sectors. We have seen some modest progress but believe that fashion players are not taking their responsibilities seriously enough – by sustainability we mean planet, people and profit. There are solutions and alternatives to mitigate these problems. The first step lies in building awareness and willingness to change.
From 2020 onwards, fashion players will need to swap their lukewarm initiatives for meaningful action and regulatory compliance, while facing up to consumer demand for transformational change. We at HGA Group are keen to play a small part in this huge journey, our Sustainability Hub champions talent acquisition, the development of team structures and hosts business events that discusses and informs as to how best to adopt and drive sustainability within fashion, beauty and retail.
