The initiative aims to create a platform for curiosity, open discussion and meaningful progress, with a focus on advancing sustainability across the industry. The board includes technologist and sustainability innovator Kiara Nirghin, model and global brand ambassador Amelia Gray, fashion editor and journalist Susie Lau, model, actress and Gurls Talk founder Adwoa Aboah, and global artist and activist Anitta, alongside Stella McCartney and subject experts from H&M. Sessions are moderated by fashion strategist Julie Gilhart.
The group held its first in-person meeting in London this week, discussing the industry’s sustainability challenges and the need to accelerate innovation, transparency and responsible material use. Key themes include materials, circularity, innovation and communication, with an emphasis on identifying tangible action points.
“We are excited to start this dialogue that connects different voices and perspectives from across the fashion world. The Insights Board is a unique opportunity to listen, gain new insights and explore how we can move both ourselves and the fashion industry forward,” said Daniel Ervér, CEO H&M.
Stella McCartney highlighted the need for honesty and accountability, noting that the initiative focuses on listening and learning from diverse communities while keeping sustainability at the forefront to inspire meaningful change.
Participants underscored that fashion is at a critical crossroads where science, innovation and creativity must converge to drive progress. Discussions also explored how sustainability is represented in online conversations and its influence on consumer behaviour, stressing the importance of clear, accessible and fact-based communication on materials, animal welfare and environmental performance.
The Insights Board reflects a broader shift in the global fashion industry towards collaborative, transparent and solutions-driven approaches, as brands move beyond commitments to embed sustainability into core business practices and cultural narratives.
