IPF FORUM

ABOUT THE IPF FORUM

The Institute of Positive Fashion Forum brings together leaders in sustainability, business, and policy focused on driving industry-wide transformation.

The fifth edition of IPF Forum took place in London on 20th March 2025.

As we realign current programmes and activities to deliver against BFC’s newly launched strategy, BFC 2030: Access, Creativity, Growth, the IPF will pause the stand-alone annual forum in 2026, and we will return with a Business Forum in 2027.

We encourage you to continue engaging with the important discussions and industry insights from past IPF Forums, available on demand in our Content Library.

Thank you for your continued support.

The innovations, industry insights and best practices shared highlighted the need for continued commitment from all stakeholder groups — citizens, businesses, and governments — and underscored the importance of collective action to advance a more sustainable and equitable future for the industry.
