For the year 2025, the Drapers Sustainable Fashion Awards have undergone a transformation to become the Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards. This evolution underscores the fashion retail industry’s increasing commitment to embedding sustainability at every operational level. The shift is indicative of the non-negotiable nature of sustainable practices in today’s fashion landscape.
This prestigious event is set to occur on 12 March 2025, subsequent to the Drapers Conscious Fashion Summit. The summit and the awards ceremony take place at the well-known venue of Hilton London Bankside, which promises to bring together change-makers from across the fashion retail sector.
The awards aim to champion and reward responsible business practices and are closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They are judged by an independent panel of experts, ensuring unbiased recognition of efforts to drive sustainable change.
Adding to the event’s agenda this year are two pioneering categories: the ‘Empowering People Initiative’, which acknowledges efforts to empower individuals within fashion organisations, and ‘Power Product of the Year’, which invites submissions of clothing, footwear, or accessory items exemplifying sustainability, circularity, ethical production, and transparency.
The initiative seeks to inspire industry peers, showcasing best practices to enable collective learning and fostering collaboration for sustainable development. It encourages industry stakeholders to spotlight their positive contributions and drive further change towards a sustainable future.
The Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards stand as a testament to the industry’s collective efforts in fostering responsible and sustainable practices.
