European Fashion Alliance aims to make a significant contribution to achieving a carbon-neutral, environmentally sustainable, non-toxic and fully circular textile industry and to raise awareness among fashion producers, designers and consumers.

The alliance, composed of 29 organizations, including numerous fashion councils, fashion weeks and research and educational institutes, represents more than 10,000 European companies in the fashion industry and gathers from micro enterprises to large corporations.

EFA believes that sustainability and digital transformation, along with innovation, education and labor market measures, will be the factors that will drive the fashion industry to make textiles more durable, repairable, reusable and recyclable.To accelerate this transition process, EFA will also focus on exchanges and mutual interactions among creatives and support young talents as drivers of change through actions, research and campaigns.

For the period from 2023 to 2027, the European Fashion Alliance has defined four pillars of action: the establishment of an ethical, social and sustainable code of conduct for EFA members and, by extension, for the fashion industry; the creation of a new Green Deal for fashion at the European level based on a Europe-wide circular and social fashion ecosystem based on shared data and measurement; the creation and application of sustainable, technological and socially and culturally responsible training practices for key EFA stakeholders; and the empowerment of the younger generation as driving forces toward the digital, circular and social transition of the fashion industry.
