Abstract

This chapter provides unique background information on a high-level political process that was of crucial importance for the promotion of sustainable fashion as it set the political agenda for intensified governmental action towards more sustainable business practice in the global economy. In June 2015, the heads of state and government of the Group of Seven (G7) met at the Elmau summit. This summit led to strong commitments to undertake several policy measures and to strengthen sustainable practices in global value chains. The author describes the efforts and political processes ahead of the meeting, sets out the reasons that spoke for joint G7 action and gives an account of what the G7 agreed upon in Elmau. Furthermore, the author draws lessons from this political process and closes with relevant questions concerning the future agenda for sustainable global value chains.

Fußnoten
1
“Upstream” stands for distance; “Downstream” for closeness to final demand.
 
2
Think of product specifications, design, intellectual property, management process.
 
3
A term associated with the G8 summit in Lough Erne, where measures on tax, transparency and trade were combined in this way.
 
4
This document also provides a preliminary snapshot on implementation measures taken since the Elmau summit.
 
5
Previous G8 positions are still binding on the G7.
 
6
Brazil, China, Mexico, India, South Africa.
 
7
Note that not all of them are commitments in the sense that their implementation is formally reported on in future G7 accountability reports. Not every part of leaders’ language calls for structured reporting under the formal G7 accountability process.
 
8
Sherpas are a group of high level civil servants, each preparing his or her leader for G7 summits.
 
9
Whether this approach is still consistent with the vision underlying the Agenda 2030 is a question well worth discussing.
 
10
Questions like “Is this a labor or a development issue?” were raised but not easily answered.
 
11
German business had made a convincing case that government action on sustainable global value chains should by nature be coordinated with international partners.
 
12
Development economics discusses similar conundrums—the difficulty of telling drivers from outcomes of development—under the notion of endogeneity.
 
13
The “just in time” (JIT) paradigm in production and logistics goes back to a process pioneered by Toyota. It will probably further gain in relevance through the “internet of things” (IOT).
