CELEBRATING 16 YEARS

Fashion Takes Action (FTA) is a non-profit organization established in 2007 to
advance sustainability in the entire fashion system through education,
awareness, research and collaboration. That means we work with the people who
make, sell, buy, wear, resell and dispose/recycle clothing! We achieve this
through industry programs such as our annual WEAR Conference, our work to
advance circularity, our Employee Education workshops, and our Sustainable
Fashion Toolkit. For citizens, we offer My Clothes My World – our youth
education program that empowers the next generation with the necessary tools and
resources to shift toward more conscious consumption. We believe in progress
over perfection, and that collectively we must all do our part in taking action!

POSTPONED UNTIL MAY 2021


WEAR CONFERENCE

Since 2014, the World Ethical Apparel Roundtable has brought together the entire
fashion industry to learn, network and collaborate. Our intimate platform allows
for meaningful connections, deeper learning opportunities, and a clear sense of
how to take action.

YOUTH EDUCATION

Since 2014, we have delivered our school program to more than 30,000 students
aged 8-17. We believe Fashion Leaders are Climate Leaders and that through a fun
and relatable topic like fashion, students can learn about the climate change.

Our workshops empower the next generation of consumers to make more responsible
purchasing decisions when it comes to their clothes.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION TOOLKIT

A free online platform that features hundreds of vetted, credible resources from
global organizations that have been summarized and categorized. This is an
important time saving resource that includes reports, guidelines, standards,
articles, podcasts, case studies and more. We regularly update the Toolkit with
new resources.

CIRCULAR COLLABORATION

We believe in the power of real collaboration to address systemic change. As the
convenor of the Ontario Textile Diversion Collaborative we brought together
multiple stakeholders, each with unique challenges and perspectives, in a
collective impact framework to address textile waste diversion, reuse and
recycling. Our work continues on a national level, working with apparel brands,
retailers, academics, NGOs, policy makers, charities, sorters & graders,
exporters, and municipalities to mobilize and accelerate action.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Once you’ve learned something, you can’t unlearn it. Once you see something, you
can’t unsee it. Since 2007 we have worked hard to educate industry stakeholders,
as well as consumers about the social and environmental impacts of fashion.

 * We buy 60% more clothing today than we did 20 years ago
 * Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles
   is landfilled or burned
 * Sweatshops, forced and child labour still exists
 * Synthetic clothes shed trillions of microfibers into our rivers, lakes and
   oceans
