IFBEC is built around three core pillars, each designed to drive the Council’s larger purpose and benefit its members. These focus areas are central to advancing the fashion, luxury, and lifestyle industries, ensuring IFBEC members have access to the resources, opportunities, and collaborations needed to succeed. Together, these pillars drive IFBEC’s vision of fostering global collaboration, sustainability, and technological advancement to propel the growth and development of the fashion industry.
Aligning to this, focused consortiums are responsible to drive impact for members of IFBEC.
Global Fashion Business Consortium
The Global Fashion Business Consortium will be a powerful platform for fostering international trade, collaboration and innovation in the fashion industry. By connecting businesses with global partners, providing trade facilitation services and advocating for policy reforms, the consortium will drive economic growth and create new opportunities for businesses worldwide. Through a focus on sustainability, ethical practices and knowledge-sharing, the consortium will contribute to a more responsible and connected global fashion business ecosystem.
Heritage Fashion Consortium
The Heritage Fashion Consortium is a transformative initiative that seeks to uplift the handloom industry by creating a sustainable ecosystem of collaboration and innovation. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the consortium can ensure the survival and thriving of traditional handloom crafts while empowering the communities that depend on them. Through focused goals, sustainable practices and strong market connections, WHDC will position weavers as key contributors to both cultural preservation and economic growth.
This proposal invites partners and stakeholders to join hands in realizing the vision of a prosperous, inclusive & sustainable future for the handloom sector.
Circular Sustainability Consortium
The Circular Sustainability Consortium aims to create a collaborative platform that drives circularity within the textile and fashion industry, focusing on reducing textile waste at both pre-production and post-consumer stages. The consortium’s primary purpose is to implement sustainable practices, promote awareness, advocate for responsible fashion policies, and establish certification systems for ethical and circular processes. Through strategic partnerships, the consortium seeks to integrate circularity across the entire fashion value chain, fostering both environmental responsibility and economic opportunity. Join this movement to drive meaningful change in the global fashion industry.
