Today with The Fashion Pact, the fashion industry has the opportunity to pioneer sector-wide transformation towards a more sustainable future.

The Fashion Pact is a global coalition of 70+ companies in the fashion and textile sector who have committed to utilising the power of the collective to accelerate change in three environmental areas: climate, biodiversity, and oceans. Uniquely, The Fashion Pact is a CEO-led, action-based non-profit organisation funded by its members, leveraging joint action to achieve and scale impact.

The Fashion Pact has grown by 200% in the past 2 years creating a community of over 200 brands, representing one third of the global fashion industry. In light of this growth, Acre is delighted to support The Fashion Pact on a number of key hires over the course of 2023, which will play a critical role in the scaling of the organisation and its impact on transforming the fashion industry as a whole. The Fashion Pact is growing its secretariat in Paris.

Today, the fashion industry has the opportunity to lead a shift towards a more sustainable future.

Collaboration is vital if we are to develop a truly sustainable industry, and to do so as quickly and effectively as possible.”
