Fashion for Nature
The Project
Fashion brands are increasingly seeking ways to source natural materials that contribute to biodiversity conservation. Through a collaboration with Conservation International and The Fashion Pact, Wildlife Friendly® worked directly with leading global brands to explore how independently certified Wildlife Friendly® supply chains can help translate biodiversity commitments into meaningful action on the ground.
Wildlife Friendly® worked directly with Fashion Pact member companies through tailored one-to-one engagements to:
-
introduce the principles of Wildlife Friendly® certification and biodiversity-positive sourcing;
-
explore where certified natural fibres and ingredients could support existing sustainability commitments;
-
discuss opportunities to strengthen biodiversity outcomes within existing sourcing landscapes;
-
identify practical next steps for brands interested in developing Wildlife Friendly supply chains.
