Fashion Takes Action is a Canadian non-profit organization looking to encourage eco-friendly practices in the fashion sector and its sustainable fashion toolkit, one of its many robust programs, is a great resource for designers. The online platform is available for free and features “hundreds of vetted, credible resources from global organizations that have been summarized and categorized.” One may find useful information like reports, guidelines, standards, case studies, and much more on the topic of sustainable fashion. This is an important resource, especially since this particular industry is considered to be one of the most wasteful, which is an issue that many contemporary designers, both emerging and established, are trying to address within their sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution practices.
Fashion Takes Action also hosts employee engagement workshops, the youth education program My Clothes My World, and much more.
