Global Fashion Summit was held in Singapore, November 3, 2022.

It assembled over 250 stakeholders representing manufacturers, garment workers, retailers, brands, suppliers, NGOs, policy, and innovators and built on dialogues from the June edition in Copenhagen and gathered leaders from across the entire value chain to elevate diverse voices and foster alliances within the fashion industry and beyond to drive sustainable impact.

The edition facilitated conversations with manufacturer and supply chain voices to discuss crucial challenges and opportunities around working collaboratively with brands on equal terms. The program featured bold panels, case studies, masterclasses and leadership roundtables reflecting on topics including data scarcity, better wage systems, community and circularity, connecting the EU textiles strategy with the value chain and energy transformation.

Global Fashion Summit was held outside of Copenhagen for the first time in its 13-year history. The summit was presented by Global Fashion Agenda, which is a non-profit organisation that fosters industry collaboration on sustainability in fashion to accelerate impact. With the vision of a net positive fashion industry, it drives action by mobilising, inspiring, influencing and educating all stakeholders. The organisation has been leading the movement since 2009.

Global Fashion Agenda will build upon summit discussions to reflect on how the industry can accurately measure and communicate sustainability performance.
