What En Mode Climat does

En Mode Climat is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in March 2022 that operates as a coalition of textile industry stakeholders advocating for binding regulation to reduce the sector's greenhouse gas emissions. The coalition was catalyzed by a public call in July 2021 signed by approximately 100 French fashion brands arguing that voluntary action alone is insufficient and that economic incentives ("prime au vice") favor unsustainable producers. Its stated mission is to ensure the textile sector divides its greenhouse gas emissions by three between 2016 and 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C objective.

The coalition's three advocacy pillars are reducing the volume of new clothing placed on the market, relocalizing production to France and Europe where energy is less carbon-intensive, and promoting repair and reuse of used garments. En Mode Climat is governed by a board including Julia Faure (President, founder of Loom), Eric Boël (Secretary General and Treasurer, Tissages de Charlieu), and Thomas Huriez (founding member, founder of 1083). It has grown to 569+ member companies spanning brands, factories, workshops, and second-hand/repair operators, and communicates via Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, a monthly newsletter, and earned media (Le Monde, France Inter, France Info, L'Humanité, Fashion Network) with international presence at COP27.

En Mode Climat is not a product or technology company and generates no commercial revenue. It is funded by member contributions and individual donations processed through HelloAsso, with no disclosed external investment, no pricing model, no intellectual property, and 1–10 employees. Its distribution of influence occurs through direct policy advocacy toward French and European regulators and coalition-building among textile industry actors via its Typeform recruitment flow.

Others

• CANOPY: NGO working with fashion brands to protect forests and ancient forests in textile supply chains. Adjacent to En Mode Climat in driving supply-chain accountability commitments from major brands, but focused on forest/rayon sourcing rather than carbon regulation.
• Clean Clothes Campaign: Global alliance focused on garment workers' rights throughout the supply chain. Thematically adjacent to En Mode Climat (same fashion-industry advocacy space, similar coalition model) but oriented toward labor rights rather than climate regulation.
• Fair Wear Foundation: Multi-stakeholder organization improving labor conditions in the garment industry. Operates in a related textile-advocacy space with coalition-style membership but focused on labor standards verification rather than climate regulation.

Regional players

• Mouvement Impact France: French coalition of social and ecological-impact businesses, explicitly referenced as adjacent to En Mode Climat. Comparable French coalition model working on sustainability business practices, though broader in scope and not textile-exclusive.
• Fédération Française du Prêt à Porter: Trade federation representing French ready-to-wear and fashion brands. Comparable as a French fashion-industry advocacy organization, but oriented toward trade and competitiveness issues rather than climate regulation specifically.

Broad incumbents

• Textile Exchange: Global non-profit driving fiber and materials sustainability standards (organic cotton, recycled polyester). A peer in scale and textile-industry focus, but concentrates on materials certifications rather than full regulatory advocacy.
• Ellen MacArthur Foundation: Major circular-economy advocacy organization whose Make Fashion Circular initiative targets the same textile industry structural issues. A peer on the 'reduce-reuse-relocalize' agenda, though operating at a much larger scale with corporate program partners.
• Sustainable Apparel Coalition: Industry-led coalition (owners include brands and retailers) focused on the Higg Index sustainability measurement tools. Compares as a broader industry coalition for sustainable apparel but emphasizes measurement frameworks rather than binding regulation.

Direct peers

• Remake: Global advocacy organization fighting for climate and garment-worker justice in the fashion industry. Closely aligned with En Mode Climat on the intersection of climate and labor arguments against fast fashion, though US-based and consumer-facing.
• Fashion Revolution: Global fashion sustainability advocacy movement founded after the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse. Compares directly to En Mode Climat in mobilizing civil-society pressure on the textile industry, though its primary lever is consumer awareness rather than regulatory reform.
