Glossary of fashion & sustainability

At the end of the citizen consultation, it became clear to everyone that a common language was needed in order to exchange and communicate on the same basis. Our working group is working on the creation of a glossary of “definitions and common standard concepts” in order to clarify and harmonize our uses.


Methodology

Glossary

  • Identification of 4 major themes (sustainability and fashion, materials, certifications and labels, actors and initiatives) and more than 400 terms
  • Bibliographic research
  • Harmonization and validation of definitions

Common standards

  • Listing of 12 key terms and concepts
  • Bibliographic and semantic research
  • Elaboration of the first bases of definitions

Planning

▶︎ April 2022: Publication of the glossary in French (available here)

▶︎ Octobre 2022: Publication of the glossary in English (available here)
