Now in its fifth edition, the Venice Sustainable Fashion Forum is a leading initiative dedicated to advancing the sustainable transformation of the Fashion & Luxury industry, promoted by Confindustria Moda and Confindustria Veneto Est.
The Italian Fashion & Luxury industry as a whole represents a turnover of some 90 billion and employs over 400,000 people in more than 60,000 companies along the numerous chains of materials transformation and products creation: the Venice Sustainable Fashion Forum originates from this awareness and the will to work jointly towards a concrete objective of sustainable transition, bringing together the companies all along the supply chains from materials to brands, to identify the priority challenges, indicate an agreed path of change and start out on a roadmap of effective transformation based on scientific and measurable evidence.
