Global Change Award 2016

The Global Change Award is an innovation challenge, initiated by H&M Conscious Foundation in August 2015. By catalyzing green, truly game-changing ideas the aim is to protect the planet and close the loop for fashion.

The mission of the independent non-profit global foundation is to drive long lasting positive change and improve living conditions by investing in people, communities and innovative ideas.

During the last year's edition, more than 2 700 innovators from 112 countries had signed up to share their ideas on new circular approaches throughout the whole value chain of the fashion industry; changing the way fashion is designed and produced, shipped, bought, used and recycled. The aim is to develop fashion for growing population, while reducing its impact on the environment.

The Global Change Award 2016 will be open for applications on September 1, 2016.

The five winners will share a grant of €1 000,000 and get tailor-made support for one year from H&M Conscious Foundation, Accenture and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
