Die Textil- und Modeindustrie ist die viertgrößte Branche der Welt. Sie ist damit auch eine der einflussreichsten, wenn es darum geht, die 17 Nachhaltigen Entwicklungsziele (SDGs) der Agenda 2030 der Vereinten Nationen zu erreichen, die mit Maßnahmen zur Beendigung von Armut, der Bekämpfung von Ungleichheiten und dem Aufhalten des Klimawandels eine bessere Welt erschaffen wollen. Um einen bedeutenden Veränderungsprozess zu beschleunigen, sind ein transformativer Wandel und innovatives Denken in der kompletten globalen Lieferkette nötig. Multi-Stakeholder-Zusammenarbeit zu initiieren, Wissen rund um Nachhaltigkeit zu teilen und den gesamten Modesektor zu aktivieren, um die Modeindustrie auf internationalem Level nachhaltiger zu machen – das sind die Ziele des neuen Frankfurt Fashion SDG Summit. Die internationale Leitveranstaltung wird am 7. Juli 2021 von der Frankfurt Fashion Week lanciert, präsentiert von der Messe Frankfurt und der Conscious Fashion Campaign, in Zusammenarbeit mit dem United Nations Office for Partnerships.

Die Themen des Frankfurt Fashion SDG Summit orientieren sich an den Prioritäten, die UN-Generalsekretär António Guterres für 2021 angekündigt hat, um die SDGs bis 2030 zu erreichen. Keynotes, Interviews, Paneldiskussionen und Performances beleuchten Themen wie Nachhaltigkeit durch Design, Politik für die Menschen, Klimaschutz, saubere Ozeane, Creatives for the Future und den globalen Status von Mode und Design.

Auf dem Podium der ersten digitalen Ausgabe des Frankfurt Fashion SDG Summit sitzen international führende Vertreter*innen aus Politik, Forschung, der Mode- und Textilindustrie, von NGOs sowie Designer*innen, Künstler*innen und UN Advocates.

Der Frankfurt Fashion SDG Summit ist eines der Kernelemente der Frankfurt Fashion Week, um eine zukunftsorientierte, nachhaltigere Fashion- und Textilbranche aktiv voranzutreiben und diesen Wandel mitzugestalten. Die SDGs werden auch in den anderen Formaten der Frankfurt Fashion Week aufgegriffen: Bewusstsein schaffen, aufmerksam machen und Veränderungen bewirken. Vor diesem Hintergrund macht es die Frankfurt Fashion Week zur Voraussetzung, dass sich alle Aussteller der Modemessen PREMIUM, SEEK und NEONYT bis 2023 zu den SDGs bekennen.
