As acknowledgement of CFDA’s ongoing commitment to further our industry’s path to impactful change, we recently joined United Nations’ Global Compact CSR Initiative that includes a consortium of more than 12,000 organizations from 140 countries.
In a commitment letter to the U.N., the President and CEO Steven Kolb pledged our continued goals striving to provide education, mentorship, and inspire change-making thought-leadership throughout our membership and industry.
There are four pillars within the 10 principles: Human Rights, Labor, Environment, and Anti Corruption. They, along with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), serve as universally-adopted guiding principles.
This spring, we will be offering workshops to CFDA + Lexus Fashion* Initiative participants as well as CFDA members via Network as well as a Sustainable Apparel Coalition Workshop with a view to the future of fashion.
Our membership to both organizations is key in advocating for relevant tools and resources for our CFDA community.
