Executive Summary

The Coresight Research team was in New York City for the Messe Frankfurt X Conscious Fashion Campaign, at which the Messe Frankfurt Texpertise Network announced a new collaborative initiative with the Conscious Fashion Campaign and the United Nations (UN).

These are our key insights on the significance of the partnership:

• The collaborative initiative seeks to accelerate achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• The international fashion and textile industry can play a key role in achieving the SDGs.
• New business models are emerging that can help, such as resale, recycling and subscriptions.
