The Global Change Award (GCA), an initiative of the H&M Foundation, seeks to propel the textile industry towards net-zero emissions by accelerating innovation that benefits both people and the planet.

The GCA is looking for changemakers who can help decarbonize fashion.

The GCA operates within the following key areas of transformation:

  • sustainable materials and processes;
  • responsible production;
  • mindful consumption; and,
  • wildcards, for impactful solutions and drivers that haven't been considered but speak to the overarching mission of the GCA.

The GCA is open to individuals and organizations. Changemakers must be early-stage. 

Winners share a cash prize and take part in the Changemaker Programme.

Application Procedures
