The British Fashion Council is delighted to announce the schedule for its inaugural Institute of Positive Fashion Forum (IPF Forum), a thought leadership event designed to galvanise the British fashion industry alongside international businesses into global collaboration and local action. The day-long event which will take place digitally on Thursday 10th June 2021, will see over 40 speakers coming together from all around the world to focus on catalysts for Positive Change, encouraging participants to take action by signing up and adopting the recommendation of the Race to Zero, Terra Carta, Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, Fashion Pact, and Sustainable Development Goals.
