Minister calls on more companies to sign up to Fashion Pact
16/09/2019
Signatory companies have committed to setting science-based targets that will help them combat global warming, restore biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and protect the oceans.
Speaking at the Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris on September 16, Ms Pannier-Runacher said: “It’s not governments that are driving this change, but consumers, and it’s companies that have to find the solutions. Government’s role is to accompany businesses as they try to respond, to try to give them time to make the changes they have to make.”
A former director of automotive supplier Faurecia, the minister said: “I don’t like it when people present economy and ecology as being at odds.”
