Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030

STS 2030 is a multi-stakeholder programme with the mission of making a significant contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Swiss textile and clothing sector along the entire value chain.

Client: The Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030 programme is supported by the three associations Swiss Textiles, amfori and Swiss Fair Trade. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) provide strategic support by participating in the steering committee.

Project period: 06.2020. – 06.2031

Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030 has involved the most important players in the Swiss textile and clothing industry in a multi-stakeholder dialogue to develop common sustainability goals for 2030.

  • Goal 1: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
  • Goal 2: Promote fair wages and decent work for all
  • Goal 3: Promote innovative business models towards a circular economy.
  • Goal 4: Transparency to ensure that sustainable purchasing decisions can be made.

Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030 supports actors in the Swiss textile and clothing sector in acting in a socially and environmentally responsible manner along their entire supply chain and integrating transparent sustainability criteria into their organisations. As a large proportion of textile production takes place outside of Switzerland, the programme is also coordinated internationally and tailored to the specific requirements of the Swiss context. In the long term, the multi-stakeholder programme contributes to both sustainable development and the competitiveness of the sector along the entire value chain.
