Global Fashion Summit at Copenhagen to highlight sustainable fashion

Major objectives for sustainability action are in place, yet across the globe, industries are not on track to meet them. The theme of the Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2023 is ‘Ambition to Action’. Under this premise, the summit will present content experiences focused on tangible impact, GFA said in a press release.

This year’s summit is the most ambitious yet. It will bring together over 1,000 leaders from the global fashion ecosystem and present actionable insights from close to 150 speakers representing experiences from a wider range of markets and regions.

The acclaimed line-up includes The Crown Princess of Denmark and representatives from LVMH Group, JW Anderson, Pandora A/S, Loewe, Chloe, Ganni, Vestiaire Collective, the European Commission, Neiman Marcus, Maersk, and more.

For the first time ever, this year’s summit will span across four stages allowing for more dynamic, action-focused, and interactive content than ever before. The theme will underly all elements of the summit and speakers will showcase inspiring thought leadership for accelerated change by exploring a matrix of interconnected topics. The 2023 Copenhagen Edition will build on more than a decade’s worth of summit guidance and outcomes by dedicating even more focus towards action-oriented workshops and case studies. Through these formats, the forum will demonstrate tangible learnings and concrete recommendations that can help drive implementation.

The forum will also host even more strategic roundtable meetings with the aim to mobilise industry leaders to build alliances with solution providers, policy makers, investors, and other industry stakeholders and implement immediate solutions. Such alliances can set in motion much-needed progress towards a net positive industry. With upcoming policy expected to influence the fashion industry even further this year, the summit will shed light on the ongoing pieces of legislation currently under discussion both within the EU and worldwide.

Additionally, the Innovation Forum will present a curated exhibition of other leading sustainable solutions. Summit attendees can meet with exhibitors covering the entire value chain—from innovative materials to end-of-use solutions. Innovation Forum Matchmaking will enable small and large fashion businesses to advance their sustainability journey, by providing the unique opportunity to be matched with relevant solution providers.
