Fashion Impact Toolkit
An impact inventory across the textile value chain
Deloitte Global teamed up with Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) to develop the Fashion Impact Toolkit, a broad resource that helps businesses identify and manage sustainability impacts across the textile value chain, enabling industry transformation.
Overview
In the context of sustainability concerns and the importance of economic transformation around the world, the textile, clothing, and footwear sector should adopt more sustainable and inclusive production models to help stay competitive. The industry’s complex value chain makes sustainability impacts hard to trace, underscoring the need for collaborative solutions.
The Fashion Impact Toolkit, developed by Deloitte Global and Global Fashion Agenda―offers an interactive resource to help companies identify key sustainability concerns and improve decision-making. It supports integrating impact data into business strategies, fosters supplier collaboration for transparency, and drives innovation to help reduce impacts and create shared value.

How to use the toolkit: 1. Select a main activity from the value chain. 2. Choose a material filter or “All material” option, if prompted. 3. View related sub-activities. 4. Click a sub-activity to see potential impacts by European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) standard and geography.
“For the shift toward circularity to succeed, the textile industry should actively manage negative impacts while seizing opportunities for positive impact, unlocking shared value through greater visibility and help drive industry-wide transformation.”
