The Textiles Partnership 2024 in Numbers
The year 2024 was filled with a varied programme of workshops, webinars and major events. Current politically relevant topics were addressed and numerous webinars on various focus topics of the Textiles Partnership were held.
The topics covered in the webinars ranged from ‘The New EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation – a Game-Changer for the Textiles Sector?’ and ‘Stricter Waste Regulation and Extended Producer Responsibility for Textiles’ to ‘Tackling Greenwashing – The Directive to Empower Consumers for the Green Transition and the Green Claims Directive’, ‘Responsible Purchasing Practices – an Effective Approach to Meet Due Diligence Obligations’ and ‘Addressing Gender-Based Violence through Enforceable Brand Agreements’. These titles represent just a small selection of the extensive range on offer in 2024.
In addition, the six-part joint webinar series on the EU textile strategy organised by the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles, the Green Button and GIZ FABRIC was successfully concluded.

It’s a wrap: Joint webinar series on EU Textile Strategy has come to an end
What started in September 2023 as a joint webinar series by the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles, the Green Button and GIZ FABRIC has now come to an end – leaving the organizational team very satisfied with the outcome of the series. The six webinar sessions took participants on a journey through the complex landscape of upcoming EU legislations under the EU Textile Strategy. Important regulations that will affect companies in the textile sector were introduced in detail and the large numbers of participants in all sessions proved the relevance of the topic.

10th Members’ Meeting
In April 2024, around 125 participants came to Berlin for the 10th Members’ Meeting of the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles. In presentations, workshops and working groups, they engaged in lively discussions and laid further important groundwork for the implementation of the strategic realignment. One highlight was the dialogue with representatives of rights holders from Bangladesh.
The event highlight of the year was of course the anniversary celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles. More on this in Chapter 6 – Highlights of the year.
