Copenhagen Fashion Summit celebrates a decade, focus on sustainability

Copenhagen Fashion Summit held from May 15 to 16, 2019 attracted 1300 guests, and 78 high-level speakers who talked on topics spanning executive leadership, design, manufacturing, policy and investment. Discussion topics ranged from climate change and circular economy to the power of creatives and how fashion can address overconsumption.

Fashion leaders, policymakers, NGOs, creative directors and innovators from across the globe convened to demand urgent action on sustainability in the fashion industry. The event marked the summit’s 10th anniversary and provided a platform for companies to unveil new solutions, launch new commitments, collaborate with industry peers and partake in agenda-setting discussions. Discussions and debates emphasised that companies must collaborate now, more than ever, to rectify the harmful consequences of the fashion industry and combat the climate crisis, resource scarcity and social issues. The summit provided a forum for stakeholders to come together and rewrite fashion to safeguard the planet.

At seven leadership roundtables, select fashion leaders, NGO representatives and government officials met to discuss the fashion industry’s most pressing sustainability issues and to collaborate to push the agenda forward. At this year’s roundtables senior participants from fashion companies of diverse sizes, segments and geographies discussed climate change and the circular economy.
