Unpacking the 'Fashion Act' with New York State Senator Alessandra Biaggi

Unpacking the 'Fashion Act' with New York State Senator Alessandra Biaggi

In January, the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act (or the Fashion Act) was unveiled: a bill many are calling a "groundbreaking" and "historic" step towards bringing accountability to the fashion industry and holding the biggest brands accountable for their environmental and social impacts.

If signed into law, the Fashion Act would require all major apparel and footwear companies that generate $100 million in global revenue and do business in the state of New York to map their supply chain, engage in mandatory due diligence, identify and address risks, and set and meet science-based targets.

What does the Fashion Act mean for the fashion industry? Is disclosure enough to truly hold the industry accountable? Now that the bill has been introduced, what happens now? New York State Senator Alessandra Biaggi joined SFF founder Brittany Sierra during the 2022 Sustainable Fashion Forum to discuss. Hear their convo here.
