Animal welfare

Animal welfare is a hotly debated topic in civil society, media and institutions. As the concern for the good treatment of animals is profoundly changing the food and cosmetic industries, how will it impact fashion?

Methodology

As fashion brands and companies, we all working with animal-based materials. Thus, it seemed particularly relevant to us to establish a working group dedicated to animal welfare in order to meet the expectations of our stakeholders, both internally and externally.

Thus, the ambition of this working group on animal welfare is to :

- Share definitions, commitments, actions and best practices
- Identify potential synergies and opportunities for collective work
- Consider bringing a common message from the French fashion industry on the subject
