The fashion industry is the second-biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions.
Since launching in 2021, the Fashion Task Force has been driving tangible projects in multiple areas which include the launch of the Digital Product Passport at the G20 in Rome, and regenerative agriculture projects in the Himalayas and Apulia, Italy.
Fashion task force chair Federico Marchetti added: “We are thrilled to welcome Prada Group and Lorenzo Bertelli to our action-oriented Fashion Task Force.
“Prada is an excellent fit with a cohesive group of leading brands who are striving for one shared purpose: fashion in harmony with Nature”.
