The Global Change Award (GCA) 2023, one of the largest innovation competitions in the world for early-stage sustainable innovation, is returning thanks to the H&M Foundation.
The H&M Foundation, which was established in 2015, is on the lookout for creative thinkers and trailblazers to help the fashion and textile industries become more sustainable.
