Human capital incorporates the health, knowledge, skills, intellectual outputs, motivation and capacity for relationships of the individual. However, it is also about joy, passion, empathy and spirituality. Combined together with the SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being applied within the fashion industry, human capital expands to ensuring good health, safe working conditions and appreciation for each individual along the supply chain.

​

Within the team throughout the three days at the Youth Fashion Summit the topic of human capital, problems areas related to health and well-being, the challenges and possible stakeholders were discussed. Brainstorming sessions were facilitated in sub-groups and large groups.

​

To reach the SDGs within fashion, a call for action is necessary. The Fashionultim8um was formulated envisioning a world where SDGs 3 and 5 are fully integrated and its demands serve as a path for action. Each team contributed with one demand, which was the result of day 3 when each team pitched three of their ideas to industry specialists and negotiations took place to settle for one final demand in the end. A visual poster was also created to accompany each demand.

SDG 3 Human Capital’s Demand:
We demand the industry to take responsibility and collaborate with government and NGOs, through legislation and enforcement, to ensure the health and well-being of individuals.
