H&M: We must make fast fashion more sustainable
Pascal Brun, global sustainability manager at H&M, has said the industry must move away from a siloed approach to sustainability in order to effect change.
Speaking on a panel with Paul Smith, head of sourcing and product technology at Missguided, and Jenny Holloway, CEO of Fashion Enter, Brun told delegates attending the second day of Drapers Sustainable Fashion that it is vital the fashion industry takes a holistic approach to sustainability.
“We are on a journey to transform the industry into a circular model- it is not about can we do it, it is about how to do it. It is about taking a holistic approach on circularity and pushing the agenda on setting goals that are ambitious enough. For H&M is it not a choice, it is our responsibility to change it.”
