VOGUE editors also signed a petition to launch Japan's first survey on the environmental impact of the fashion industry

2021-06-21

According to a December 2020 NHK report, Japan's Ministry of the Environment has decided to conduct its first "Environmental Impact Survey" on the fashion industry, citing the environmental impact of various processes in the Japanese fashion industry, such as textiles, dyeing, and large inventories of discarded clothing. Prior to this, the Japanese fashion industry had submitted a "Proposal to Promote Sustainable Fashion Management" to the Environment Agency and invited industry figures to sign a petition to promote sustainability awareness and concrete actions within the fashion industry. The proposal addresses issues such as carbon emissions, water consumption in production, and plastic use, as well as improvements to address gender pay disparities, environmental impacts, and working conditions. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50854883486_6b2176c805_b.jpg Fashion figures including Watanabe Mitsuko (second from right) submitted the sustainability proposal to the Minister of the Environment. Image source: Ministry of the Environment. The origins of this proposal stem from the 2013 building collapse in Savar, Bangladesh. According to Wikipedia, the building housed several independent garment factories, including those of Benetton Group, Walmart, and Monsoon Accessories, employing approximately 5,000 workers. Even before the accident, cracks had already appeared in the illegally added four-story structure, yet workers were still required to work. This ultimately resulted in the world's deadliest building collapse, with 1,127 deaths and approximately 2,500 injuries. Following this tragedy, the UK branch of the international NGO "FASHION REVOLUTION" advocated for sustainable development in the fashion industry, and the Japanese branch of the group also actively promoted the same concept. In July 2020, the "Proposal to Promote Sustainable Fashion Management" received strong support from fashion journalist Yoshiko Ikoma, who promotes traditional Japanese crafts. Model Marie, actor Yusuke Issey, and Vogue Japan editor-in-chief Mitsuko Watanabe also expressed their support. "Fashion has the power to move people. Enjoying life in fashion is meaningless if it harms the environment and humanity. Going forward, the fashion industry must prioritize sustainability, not just creativity," Mitsuko Watanabe said in a speech. After receiving the proposal in August, Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi initiated discussions and dialogue with the industry on how to accelerate sustainable fashion management. In December, the Ministry of the Environment decided to conduct the first environmental impact survey of the fashion industry. Given the fashion industry's reputation as the world's second-largest polluter, international efforts have been actively promoting supply chain transparency in recent years. In 2018, well-known fashion companies such as Burberry, Stella McCartney, and Condé Nast signed the "Fashion Industry Climate Action Charter", hoping to reduce carbon emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050.
