In 2015, the UN launched the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a guide for Member States to achieve sustainability in their countries. At SFW, we work to incorporate each goal into our organisation but today we talk specifically about poverty, gender inequality, climate action, clean energy and responsible consumption.

This year’s Global Goals Week is more important than ever as the world’s sustainable development progress has been hindered by COVID-19. The goals were developed by the UN five years ago, and support many of the ideas and aims of sustainable fashion. Both seek an inclusive and equal approach to sustainable development, and both are crucial to overcoming the environmental crisis.
