World Ethical Apparel Roundtable (Wear) was held in Canada, October 7 to 8, 2019. The Sustainable Fashion Toolkit was launched at the conference. Available free initially on the internet, it brings together curated content where resources are centrally located, easy and quick to navigate.

Wear is an unique platform to share examples of both local and global leadership, best practices and innovative solutions with the North American apparel and textile industry. Globally, fashion industry stakeholders are engaging in one of the fastest and most progressive plans to change a system that is broken on so many levels. In some cases this shift has made it challenging for those who are just embarking on their sustainability journey. With so many solutions, tools and resources, and without a clear strategy or direction, it can create an overwhelming sense of confusion as to how and where to begin. Wear aims to remove that barrier by providing the most relevant, up-to-date content, through many engaging sessions and in a format that allows for deeper participation and collaboration. Since 2014, Wear has succeeded in bringing together diverse perspectives from across the entire fashion system. Its intimate format allows for meaningful connections and break through learning that lead to a clear path to action.
