“Our mission is to promote change in the fashion industry by putting the planet and people first.”
Rio Ethical Fashion launches the fourth edition of the environment week from June 1st to June 3rd, 2022.
The international forum of fashion and sustainability represents a community that is willing to discuss, inspire, create partnerships, and helps spread values of sustainability in the fashion industry, its cultural and socioeconomic aspects in Brazil and worldwide.
“At Rio Ethical Fashion, our goal is to break the barriers set by formal education and organizational hierarchies. We believe in life stories and experiences that can inspire us to create a better and different future.”
Diversity of voices and points of view
“All agents of change are welcome to participate in this dialogue, as long as they respect and value individual differences, and maintain a healthy environment for the sharing of ideas, free of prejudice, discrimination, harassment, bullying or intimidation.”
REF presents debates in a way that is democratic and accessible to all its participants, featuring national and international speakers, fashion films, and exclusive webinar, all with the aim of restructuring the fashion production chain.
“We are going through a period of change and there are no pregiven formulas. This is why we create an environment where trials, errors and successes can and should be made and discussed by agents of change, in a cordial and constructive manner.”
Mission and Manifesto
REF demonstrates Brazil’s creative potential to participate in international discussions. Its mission is to “transform the fashion industry, incorporating sustainable practices in all stages of the process – from creation to consumption – as well as educating all who wish to be a part of this universe.”
“Rio Ethical Fashion aims to inspire courage and the necessary resilience to create new agents of change in the world we live in, in a peaceful, inclusive and ethical manner.”
