TheIndustry.fashion People, Planet & Purpose Awards: Inaugural shortlist revealed
Big names, such as Marks & Spencer, Selfridges, John Lewis and Fatface have made it to the shortlist of the inaugural TheIndustry.fashion People, Planet & Purpose Awards.
New for 2025 these awards recognise those brands and retailers who are at the forefront of driving positive change in the fashion industry with categories spanning areas such as sustainable and circular practice, community and charitable initiatives and diversity and inclusion.
Other names features include AllSaints, schuh, Nobody's Child, RIXO, Albaray and ALIGNE among many others as challenger brands take on the high street giants for a chance to win a coveted accolade.
The winners will be selected from the shortlist by an esteemed judging panel that includes leafing voices in the fields of sustainability, circularity and inclusion. Find out more about our judges here.
Trophies will be presented at a VIP invitation ceremony on 27 February 2025 in the chic surroundings of Corinthia London. Guests will be treated to champagne and canapé receptions and a ceremony hosted by a special celebrity presenter.
Attendance at the event is reserved for those on the shortlist, judges, select VIP and our official sponsors, who include Bleckmann, Source Fashion and Accruent. A strictly limited number of additional tickets will be placed on sale with priority given to shortlisted companies who require additional seats beyond the allocated two they receive as part of their shortlisting.
TheIndustry.fashion Co-founder and CEO Lauretta Roberts commented: "It is with great pride that we reveal those businesses in contention for the first ever TheIndustry.fashion People, Planet & Purpose Awards. The spirit of these awards is 'progress not perfection'. We know there is much more the industry can do to reduce its impact on the planet and contribute positively to the world at large, but we want to recognise those who are making strides in this area in the hope that it will encourage others to do the same."
Fellow Co-founder and CPO of TheIndustry.fashion Antony Hawman added: "We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to enter the awards, to our judges and to our sponsors Bleckmann, Source Fashion and Accruent. We have been heartened by the support from the industry for our first year and feel strongly that we now have platform from which we can build for future years."
