And international family-owned fashion firm BESTSELLER is now teaming up with FFG to change what’s on the peg and reduce waste.
“We are delighted to join forces with BESTSELLER as they launch Fashion FWD – BESTSELLER’s new strategy which makes sustainability central to its way of doing business.

BESTSELLER is committed to inspiring change and joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Circular Economy 100 Group last year in a bid to lend its voice and ideas on how to accelerate towards a world wearing circular fashion products.

This is exactly what Fashion for Good represents and why we are pleased to announce our new partnership with them.” – Dorte Rye Olsen, BESTSELLER Sustainability Manager.
