The Fashion for Good Centre in Amsterdam was launched two years ago,
with the aim of transforming the fashion industry by driving its transition
to a circular economy and bringing industry players together to reimagine
how fashion is designed, made, used and reused. The global initiative
focuses on ‘five Goods’ in particular: materials, economy, energy, water
and lives.
Arvind is powering high-fashion brands across the world with fibre

excellence across the garment value chain. With Arvind by its side who
pioneers vertically integrated apparel solutions, increases the use of
sustainable yarns and tests innovative recycling solutions, Fashion for
Good and its stakeholders will have an opportunity to drive innovation
solutions across the fashion value chain.
