ABOUT GFC
GFC – Global Fashion Conference is deeply committed to the promotion of a sustainable model of development.
GFC aims at becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
In this conference, we welcome everyone engaged in the study and analysis of the fashion phenomenon – not only researchers from the academic world but, also innovative organisations and companies that work within the fashion system.
People and Planet need Sustainable Fashion. Sustainability needs Innovation, GFC is built on the concept of a sectoral innovation system. The pluridisciplinary approach of the conference embraces the components of the system: Politics, International and National Law, Businesses and Entrepreneurial Initiatives, with a strong focus on R&D and New Technologies, Financial Systems and Education.
From 2008 to 2018 GFC was held on a biannual basis partnering with a University that conducts research in fashion studies. From 2020 the conference is held every year.
GFC is committed to developing all efforts in the diffusion of the work presented and that demonstrates a consistent scientific basis subject to peer review.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are aware that as an international conference whose aim is sustainability, we have an undeniable responsibility to foster a more responsible stance regarding decarbonisation from the part of delegates, as well as from GFC team.
Therefore, we advise delegates to prepare their participation in advance picking up the way of travelling with less impact on the environment, and to compensate for the emissions of CO2 caused while using IT hardware and software.
At GFC we are committed to look for and pressure IT industries to become Zero Carbon in terms of products and processes of production. As IT plays a key role on GFC team activities, we are measuring the impact, and commit to the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030.
More information about Sustainability and GFC will be released soon.
