The G7 Fashion Pact is a global coalition of fashion and textile businesses across the whole supply chain, with a commitment to three environmental goals: stop global warming, restore biodiversity loss and protect the oceans. Founded at the behest of Emmanuel Macron and launched by the Kering Group Chair and CEO François-Henri Pinault at the 2019 G7 Summit in Biarritz, the signatories of the Pact pledge to meet a set of Science-based Targets (SBTs) for each goal. Currently, 56 companies have joined the Pact (NB: Valid at the time of writing, January 2020).(1,2) While celebrated for bringing together competing brands to collaborate, the Fashion Pact has also faced criticism for possible greenwashing, a lack of human rights considerations, punitive measures for those who do not meet targets, and for failing to address overproduction.(2-5)
