Apparel Impact Institute
The Apparel Impact Institute (AII) is collaboration of brands, manufacturers and industry associations – including the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), Target, PVH Corp., Gap and HSBC Holdings plc. - that have come together to select, fund and scale high-impact projects that dramatically and measurably improve the sustainability outcomes of the apparel and footwear industry. The AII is grounded in data collected by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition's Higg Index and is working under the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The AII will identify promising projects within a particular focus area and apply the appropriate resources to help scale a solution. For its first initiative the AII is focusing on mill improvement, one of the most environmentally impactful segments of clothing production. The AII was incorporated as a 501c(3) nonprofit organization in 2017.
