Sustainability Starts with Education
Knowledge is power.
Our role in removing barriers to sustainability is rooted in education. We work hard to educate industry and citizens alike about the social and environmental impacts of fashion.
From circular business to responsible consumption, we offer expert-led sessions that empower your employees to take action. If you’re interested in education and professional development for your company, consider one of our virtual training opportunities.
The power of collaboration to drive systemic change
As the convenor of the Canadian Circular Textiles Consortium (CCTC) we are bringing together stakeholders from across the value chain, in a collective impact framework, to address the crisis of wasted or spent textiles. Partners include apparel brands and retailers, manufacturers, researchers and academics, NGOs, policy makers, charities, sorters & graders, exporters, municipalities and recyclers to mobilize together, and accelerate action.

Empowering future changemakers
Since 2014, over 35,000 students aged 8-17 have accessed our educational tools and resources. My Clothes My World climate education program is helping young minds connect the dots between what they wear and the impact it has on the world around them. Join us in making learning about climate change as engaging as the latest fashion trends.
