Patrik Silén, Chief Strategy Officer, Asos, says: “We know that no individual company or brand can transform a whole industry, which is why organisations like Global Fashion Agenda and tools like the Fashion CEO Agenda are so important.”

“By focusing our collective efforts around a common framework and structure, the Fashion CEO Agenda can help us achieve more effective results and ensure that the industry takes greater shared action to secure a sustainable, prosperous future.”

Helena Helmersson, CEO, H&M Group, comments: “To me, it is about empowering people to express themselves, make diverse voices heard and of course also to support livelihood and well-being.”

“I am convinced that the key to our success is to help the people and communities around us to grow and be empowered. Only this way we can grow in a way that is truly meaningful and create prosperity far beyond our company.”
