H&M Foundation joins Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship
The H&M Foundation has joined the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, an initiative by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship in partnership with the World Economic Forum.
Through the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, we’re keen to collaborate with others pushing forward circular, regenerative and climate-resilient models, especially where social equity is at stake.
With more than 120 members – from social entrepreneurs and impact investors to policy shapers – the Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship is a leading multistakeholder coalition that supports social innovation and serves as a global platform to accelerate sustainable and inclusive systems change.
As pressure mounts on the textile industry to decarbonise without leaving workers behind, the need for collaboration has never been greater.
“We see this as more than just a network – it’s an engine for collective action. If we’re serious about solving complex challenges, we need spaces that foster trust, experimentation and shared accountability. That’s what the Schwab Foundation’s Global Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship is designed to do,” says Anna Gedda, CEO of the H&M Foundation.
