Speak Volumes is a call to action spearheaded by The Or Foundation, calling on fashion brands to publish their production volumes by Black Friday 2026.

The Campaign - Speak Volumes

Speak Volumes is a campaign initiated by The Or Foundation that calls on fashion brands of all sizes to publicly disclose their annual production volumes. By making production numbers transparent, the initiative aims to highlight the scale of fashion overproduction and its environmental impact, particularly in the Global South. Together with a coalition of committed brands the campaign seeks to establish a new transparency standard for the industry, supporting informed policies and meaningful action towards reducing textile waste.
