Member Of The G7 The Fashion Pact

Within the framework of the G7 summit in Biarritz, France, during the summer of 2019 the French President, Emmanuel Macron and the CEO of the Kering Group, François-Henri Pinault, laid the foundation for The Fashion Pact.

The Store Makers at umdasch have already been actively involved in the first projects on the subject of “Biodiversity” – and contribute their knowledge as to how the sales spaces of major fashion brands can be built and operated in a resource-friendly manner in future.
