H&M Foundation highlights sustainable start-ups

STOCKHOLM - The H&M Foundation, the non-profit founded by the Swedish fashion giant to fast track the realisation of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, has shone a spotlight on 10 innovative start-ups.

Entitled the 'Billion Dollar Collection’, the project presents 10 sustainable start-ups which have all won the foundation's Global Change Award which has attracted 20,000 entries since its inception in 2015.

The H&M Foundation says customers are increasingly demanding sustainable fashion – yet many start-ups struggle to receive the support needed to bring their ideas to scale.
