Hello, sustainability enthusiasts! As we wrap up another week, let’s dive into some positive developments in the world of sustainability and ESG. These stories highlight the ongoing efforts and commitments toward a more sustainable future.
1. London Fashion Week Implements Sustainability Requirements
Following the Copenhagen Fashion Week 2023, the London Fashion Week has introduced sustainability requirements for all brands participating in its on-schedule events, becoming the first of the ‘big four’ fashion weeks to do so.
Starting with a pilot in 2025 and full implementation by January 2026, brands will need to have formal ESG strategies, diversity and inclusion hiring policies, use preferred materials, and eliminate single-use props. This initiative reflects a significant step toward promoting sustainable practices within the fashion industry.
💡 We love to see this and think it’s a testament to the growing importance of sustainability in fashion. Hopefully, this not only encourages designers to adopt ESG-friendly practices but also raises awareness among consumers about the impact of their purchasing choices.

2. Amazon Reaffirms Commitment to Sustainability Amid Policy Shifts
Despite anticipated policy changes with President Trump’s return to office, Amazon has announced that it will maintain its sustainability initiatives, including its goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The company continues to be a leading corporate purchaser of renewable energy, supporting 33 gigawatts of renewable projects globally in 2024, enough to power 8.3 million homes.
💡 Amazon is no “sustainability hero” by any means, but it’s encouraging to see major corporations staying the course on sustainability. This decision not only benefits the environment but also sets a standard for other companies to follow, despite recent anti-ESG movements by other global players.
