The Fashion Pact

The Fashion Pact, evolved by 2026 into a sophisticated data-exchange ecosystem, functions as a mission-driven technical framework for the global textile industry. It leverages a centralized digital infrastructure known as the 'Unlock' platform to facilitate collective Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and supply chain transparency. The architecture integrates Earth Observation (EO) satellite data and AI-driven predictive modeling to measure biodiversity impact and carbon sequestration across Tier 1 through Tier 4 suppliers. Positioned as the primary vehicle for CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and ESRS compliance in the fashion sector, it provides members with standardized data schemas for reporting. By 2026, the Pact has shifted from a voluntary coalition to a high-integrity data utility, utilizing machine learning to identify high-risk nodes in global sourcing. Its technical focus includes the mitigation of microplastic leakage and the transition to regenerative raw materials through verified blockchain-backed traceability. The platform serves as a middle-layer between individual brand ERPs and global environmental regulatory bodies, ensuring that sustainability claims are substantiated by granular, real-time operational data.
