G7 and fashion houses join forces to make clothes more sustainable

Climate crisis pushes retailers to reduce their impact on the environment

There have been few fashion statements over the years at G7 summits (dress code: world leader suit, sensible shoes).

But this year, G7 leaders will be joined by more than 20 fashion retailers and brands, including the owner of Gucci, Kering, H&M and Zara's parent company, Inditex, for a key fashion moment - a global pact to fight the climate crisis and protect biodiversity and the oceans.
