Apparel and Textile Transformation Launch Event
The International Apparel Federation and the International Textile Manufacturers Federation are delighted to announce the launch of the Apparel and Textile Transformation Initiative (ATTI) at The Conduit Club, London, 2pm - 4pm, 26th June 2025, during London Climate Action Week.
Introducing ATTI: A New Era of Manufacturer-Led Transformation
The Apparel and Textile Transformation Initiative is an innovative, manufacturer-led, nationally oriented, and globally coordinated programme designed to accelerate transformation across the apparel and textile industry. Developed in response to the priorities of IAF and ITMF members, ATTI focuses on driving modernisation, operational efficiency, and low-impact practices. It aims to advance environmental improvements across the supply chain, with a focus on energy use, water consumption, emissions, and other key sustainability impacts.
Join us for this landmark launch event to hear directly from federations, associations, and other ATTI stakeholders about how this distinctive, manufacturer-centred approach is set to deliver progress toward industry sustainability targets. Participants will share perspectives on overcoming common barriers, aligning fragmented efforts, and scaling context-specific solutions. The discussion will also highlight actionable opportunities for industry actors to contribute to and benefit from this transformation.
Speakers
To celebrate the launch of ATTI, we have curated a unique line up of speakers representing global federations, national associations, multilateral bodies, leading brands, and transformation initiatives.
