A best case
scenario sees an industry that has invested in its people, in its
equipment and in its relations leading to a more sustainable,
transparent and effective industry. In this scenario, the industry can
support the industrial development of countries with rising wages
supported by rising productivity. It can support the creation of new
jobs in high cost economies through the emergence of new fashion brands.
Meeting these
challenges and creating the best case scenario requires global
corporations, which is what the IAF offers. Many retailers, brands,
manufacturers, solution providers and industry associations are already
working hard to further improve the industry. By building bridges
