WTiN speaks with Maria Luisa Martinez, VP public affairs at Global Fashion Agenda (GFA).
Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) is a non-profit organisation that fosters industry collaboration on sustainability in fashion to accelerate impact. With the vision of a net positive fashion industry, it drives action by mobilising, inspiring, influencing and educating all stakeholders.
Martinez is responsible for strengthening, developing and executing GFA's Policy Engagement Strategy. She works to ensure strategic engagement with relevant stakeholders and develop partnerships with key organisations.
In this episode Martinez speaks us through the organisation’s work to build global policy matrixes. We touch upon GFA’s work in both the EU and the US. However, it is GFA’s most recent introduction of GFA Policy Matrix: Asia that we primarily focus upon.
During the episode we also speak at length about GFA’s resources across the full textile industry and how the organisation supports companies as they aim to comply with incoming regulation. This GFA does through such initiatives as its Global Fashion Summit.
Additionally, Martinez speaks through the different regulations that are hitting the textile industry and what companies can be doing now to prepare for their implementation.
