🍀 Consultative Session - Mapping Capital Across Just Transition in the Fashion Sector 🍀

Building on the momentum of the July 2025 launch of ‘Unlocking Investor Action for Just Transition in India’s Fashion Sector’ by the Impact Investors Council (IIC) and Impact Investing Institute, we hosted a closed-door virtual consultative session on Thursday, 28th August 2025.

The discussion focused on understanding investor priorities and the challenges faced by both investors and entrepreneurs in mobilising capital for a Just Transition across the fashion value chain, from sustainable cotton cultivation to textile waste management and recycling. Insights from the session helped strengthen our understanding of the sector and they will be emphasised further in the final output of the program.
