Fashion companies including Burberry and H&M sign circular economy pact

A number of leading fashion companies including Burberry, Stella
McCartney, H&M and Inditex have signed a pact committing to working towards
a circular economy in response to the widespread impact of Covid-19.

They join a number of policymakers, CEOs, and other influential figures
calling on businesses and governments across the world to join the cause by
driving circular economy solutions for fashion, plastics, food, as well as
other industries.

The pact, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, sets out goals
including ensuring that clothes are made using safe and renewable materials
that last longer and are ‘made to be made again’.

“Today, CEOs of some of the world’s biggest companies, policymakers,
philanthropists, academics, and other influential individuals have
reaffirmed their commitment to building a circular economy. Together we can
build an economy that is distributed, diverse, and inclusive,” Dame Ellen
MacArthur said in a statement.
