What are the SDGs? Everything you need to know
In 2015, the United Nations introduced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), often referred to as the Global Goals, with a universal mission: to eradicate poverty, safeguard the environment, and guarantee universal peace and prosperity by 2030. These 17 SDGs form an interconnected framework, acknowledging that actions taken in one sphere have repercussions across others, thus emphasizing the need for development that harmonizes social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Nations worldwide have pledged their commitment to prioritize advancements for those who are the most marginalized. The SDGs are strategically designed to put an end to poverty, hunger, AIDS, and gender-based discrimination, particularly targeting the empowerment and equality of women and girls.
Aligning the Fashion Industry with SDGs
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) play a crucial role in the fashion industry. Known for its influence on culture and the global economy, the industry is becoming increasingly aware of its impact on the environment and communities around the world. The SDGs provide a strong framework for fashion companies to address issues such as sustainability, gender equality, fair labor and responsible consumption. By embracing and promoting these goals, the fashion industry can make a significant contribution to building a more circular, sustainable and equitable world, while meeting the demands of impact-conscious consumers and creating a more positive brand image in the process.
