On December 10, 2018 the UN “Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action” was officially presented to the global public for the first time. The charter represents a milestone for climate change in light of the fact that the textile industry is the world’s second largest polluter – right after the oil industry – and is currently responsible for 8 percent* of the world’s CO2 emissions. Sympatex, a pioneer in the area of sustainable functional textiles, is not only a signatory, but also actively participated in the development of the charter. The stated goal is to continuously reduce harmful greenhouse gases along the entire textile value chain and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. As a first step, the signatories agreed to a 30 percent reduction by 2030. Plans are in place to define specific individual measures and create a working group. Apart from Sympatex, the signatories include Puma SE, adidas, Mammut Sports Group AG, Hugo Boss, H&M Group, Schoeller Textiles AG, Pidigi S.P.A. and fashion designer Stella McCartney, in addition to key NGOs involved in the promotion of sustainability in the textile industry such as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), Textile Exchange and ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals).

Opulence in Fashion

Fashion terms such as opulent fashion needs to be carefully reviewed.

Their is a fine line between opulence and opulent.

Opulence means great wealth or luxuriousness.

• That sounds to be a nice or positive label.

Opulent means ostentatiously rich and luxurious or lavish.

• Wait a minute.  Can't "ostentatious" be perceived as slightly negative.

Ostentatiously means in a "pretentious" or showy way designed to impress.

Pretentious means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.

• We don't want to "attempt" to impress.  We want to "truly" impress.
