Born in the framework of the “Green Deal” promoted by Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, the EFA has brought together, among others, the British Fashion Council, the Fédération de la Haute-Couture de la Mode, Camera de la Mode, Italiana, the Spanish designers’ association, the German and Austrian fashion associations and the Global Fashion Agenda. The organisation’s mission is to “promote a thriving, sustainable and inclusive European fashion ecosystem”, but it still needed to specify its approach, which has now been done.The EFA members have set themselves the task of defining by 2027 an ethical, social and sustainable code of conduct for its members, “and by extension for the fashion industry” as a whole. The organisation also wants to create a “green deal for fashion” at European level, based in particular on a circular and social approach to fashion, notably through the exchange of data between European players in the field.
Another objective is the creation and implementation of technological and sustainable training for key members of the EFA, as well as social and environmental responsibility practices for stakeholders. A final point aims to make these approaches sustainable by focusing on generation Z and beyond, raising awareness through the digital, circular and social transition of the fashion industry.
