Sustainability is top of mind for fashion and retail professionals all around the globe. The recent G7 meeting in Biarritz — where 32 fashion and textile companies signed the Fashion Pact promising to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 — is just one of the many events taking place that are pressuring the industry to make drastic changes.
Yet, these changes can be costly for brands, especially if consumers aren’t willing to pay more for ethically made, eco-friendly products.
A report commissioned by Fashion Summit published earlier this year revealed that only 13% of people worldwide say they are willing to pay extra for sustainable fashion. So, how can fashion and retail brands go green, continue growing and stay profitable?
