Global Fashion Agenda joins US Coalition on Sustainability

The Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) has become the latest organization to join SustainChain, the digital technology platform of the US Coalition on Sustainability, a start-up non-profit organization established in collaboration with the United Nations, for accelerating sustainability solutions and climate action.

SustainChain, a platform for expediting climate action and sustainability solutions, was launched in 2021. It combines the efforts of inventors, impact investors, companies, NGOs, and public-private partnerships to reconstruct supply chains and achieve significant advancements toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Users of SustainChain may find goods and solutions to their current problems, work together in a group project to maximize effect, or start new projects to close sustainability gaps thanks to machine learning.

With the addition of 12 new partners, including Design for Freedom by Grace Farms, the State University of New York, United Cities, and XPRIZE, the SustainChain community has increased to over 1,300 users since its debut. This marks a significant turning point in the coalition’s mission to link diverse ecosystems working on sustainability, realizing the practical potential of the theory of global collaboration by enabling all organizations to share solutions, needs, opportunities, and lessons learned under a single digital roof.

These organizations are integrating their networks into SustainChain to get there quicker, from creating net zero cities to creating ground-breaking technological advances to forcing whole sectors to embrace sustainable practices.

Jacqueline Corbelli, CEO and founder of the US Coalition on Sustainability, said that the overwhelming interest in SustainChain they have seen validates their core hypothesis: sustainability players need and value access to a neutral, trusted hub where they can instantly access relevant opportunities to advance their sustainability goals while contributing to their collective progress. They’re eager to see this growing community of activists become the biggest sustainable action center the world has ever seen.
