SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

Established and launched at Informa’s fashion trade events in 2021, this program’s aim is to elevate, celebrate and create a systematic and reliable standardization of sustainable and socially conscious practices of exhibiting companies showcasing at MAGIC, PROJECT, COTERIE and SOURCING’s fashion trade events.

The primary goals of The Program are to:

● Implement a robust and credible evaluation of exhibiting companies

● Educate and guide the industry on sustainable and social good journey to positively impact people and the environment

These results offer a transparent and defensible approach towards highlighting the positive practices adopted by those entities making a definitive commitment towards improving our people and the planet.

Powered by Hey Social Good (HSG), an independent third-party social impact data company who conducts the program’s evaluation research, verified status is awarded to those companies that meet the minimum Social Good Assessment and has provided documentation based around the UN 17 SDGs framework.

HSG uses data-driven assessment methodologies that are based on machine learning and domain expertise data analytics, to credibly assess and verify a business’ socially responsible practices.

THE 17 UNITED NATION'S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals that represent the blueprint for countries to “promote prosperity while protecting the planet”. They address economic growth, education, health, social protection and job opportunities, as well as factors impacting climate change and the environment.

For The Program, HSG cross checks an exhibiting company’s positive impacts against the UN 17 SDGs, which includes social responsibility, responsible production, ethical practices, and environmental practices, to reflect HSG and Fashion by Informa’s shared commitment to sustainability and to help educate against green washing.

SUSTAINABILITY ESSENTIALS

Any organization, business, or company who is working on their sustainability journey can be considered for verified status, as part of the program considers the practices below as a minimum. For transparency, a company must provide documentation supporting their sustainable practices, to meet our minimum sustainability criteria.

● The sustainable footprint of a product and packaging by considering compostability, recyclability, reusability, etc.

● Source goods and products sustainably and responsibly by seeking renewable resources, providing fair labor practices, and more.

 SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM FAQs

Established and launched at Informa’s fashion trade events in 2021, this program’s aim is to elevate, celebrate and create a systematic and reliable standardization of sustainable and socially conscious practices of exhibiting companies showcasing at MAGIC, PROJECT, COTERIE and SOURCING’s fashion trade events.

Hey Social Good (HSG), an independent third-party social impact data company, conducts all ranking and evaluation research. HSG is led by Dr. Cindy J Lin, who previously worked at the US Environmental Protection Agency, and their team includes data scientists and research experts with over 50 years of combined scientific research experience across multiple sustainability disciplines.

The program uses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) framework as its foundation. HSG cross-checks an exhibiting company's positive impacts against the 17 UNSDGs, which include social responsibility, responsible production, ethical practices, and environmental considerations, to reflect a shared commitment to sustainability and help educate against greenwashing.

For each company reviewed, over 300+ data points are analyzed to assess their sustainability efforts. The assessment examines 2000+ data sources, considers 850+ UN Sustainable Development Goals related metrics, examines 450+ certifications, evaluates 300+ social impact outcomes, and incorporates 100+ data models. The methodology is evidence-based and grounded in scientific methods, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

The program defines sustainability as organizations working on multiple practices including: sustainable product and packaging footprint (ie: compostability, recyclability, reusability); sourcing goods sustainably with fair labor practices; reducing energy use, carbon emissions and water impacts; minimizing transportation-related emissions; and sustainably managing waste from operations. Companies must transparently demonstrate these practices to meet minimum sustainability criteria.

HSG follows five key principles:

  1. Data Integrity - assessments based on data and analytics, not presumption
  2. Data Consistency - following the same process for every assessment to eliminate bias
  3. Complete & Comprehensive Review - using all available data and resources
  4. Credit for Positive Practices - recognizing all positive sustainable practices and commitments
  5. Evidence-based Ranking Methodology grounded in scientific methods.

Companies that do not yet have a verified status simply means either they did not have a program in place at the time of assessment, were not eligible, or did not meet the minimum criteria standards of the Social Good Optimization Data Assessment review. Fashion by Informa is striving to expand reach of this program season-over-season as well as messaging to the wider community, with to date over hundred companies review and over hundreds rankings awarded since the program’s inception in 2021.

Verified status is maintained for 12 months and is also valid across all FASHION by Informa event brands. Due to tremendous change and innovation within sustainability space taken by companies over time, we feel it’s critical to maintain the most up-to-date and relevant information to reflect a company’s current sustainability status in a consistent, clear, and reliable manner for the wider fashion community.

Our sustainability program and ranking system first started with the SOURCING show in 2021. With its noticeable success, we expanded our program to the apparel shows of MAGIC, PROJECT and COTERIE, where we also expanded our ranking system specifically for the apparel shows.

Realizing sustainability is not a “one and done” but rather a journey that companies undertake, our aim is to continually evolve this program to meet with the ongoing needs and innovations within sustainability. Therefore, in 2025 for the apparel shows we decided to update the existing ranking naming convention, while keeping the same parameters and methodology of ranking and assessment intact. SOURCING continues to showcase the status of “Verified” as its ranking system, as it has from seasons prior.

Looking forward to 2026, we hope to continually evolve our program, meeting the industry where innovation and sustainability intersect, while also continuing with the same level of integrity and rigor that this program was founded on.

For more background on why sustainability is making such a critical impact in many industries, and in particular, the fashion industry, a summary of the recent observations are provided below.

  • According to the Coherent Market Insights, the global sustainable fashion market, valued at 7.8 billion dollars in 2023, is on a path to increase to 33.05 billion dollars by 2030.
  • The clothing industry is a critical part of our economy, with a value of USD 1.3 trillion, in addition to employing over 300 million people along the value chain (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). In the last 20 years, global fiber production has almost doubled from 58 million tonnes in 2000 to 116 million tonnes in 2022, and is expected to continue to grow to 147 million tonnes in 2030 if business as usual continues (Textile Exchange 2023). While people bought 60% more garments in 2014 than in 2000, they only kept the clothes for half as long (McKinsey & Company, 2016).
  • To date, fashion has become one of the most visible industries that’s responsible for polluting the planet and negatively harming human labor. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, greater than 17 million tons of US landfilled waste is of textile source. In 2015, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from textile production were responsible for 1.2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gas (GHG). This amount of GHG exceeds the emissions estimated for all international flights and maritime shipping combined.T

TRUSTED BY THE INDUSTRY

Trusted by thousands of key industry professionals.

"We've exhibited at other sourcing shows before but we wanted to try exhibiting at SOURCING by Informa because it has more of a guaranteed audience. We knew that the sustainability area was moving all the way to the front of the show, and we knew we would have a lot better visibility. We ended up having quite a bit of action at our booth."

GBS Trend | Verified Sustainable Exhibitor

“SOURCING by Informa is always unique for me, and I've been coming here a very long time. This time I found a lot of social give back opportunities, so that was great for our company since we've been looking to give back. The big push for sustainability is here and you had a lot of options so that made things easier. ”

DOMINISII | CEO | Attending Buyer

“The opportunities in the [sustainability] space is the storytelling...you get to see the humans behind these products, behind the materials, behind everything. If you give knowledge to your sustainability steps and your product in general, you're giving knowledge to your consumer, and that gives your consumer power too on a purchase. ”
