1. Improving Environmental Performance across the supply chain
2. Consumption trends and behaviour
3. Awareness, media, education & networks 
4. Creating market drivers
5. Traceability across the supply chain (ethics, trade & environment)

The Sustainable Clothing Roadmap aims to improve the environmental and social performance of clothing, building on existing initiatives and by co-ordinating action by key clothing supply chain stakeholders.
