The Fédération is an advocate with public authorities for the interests of the businesses it represents. As an agent for reflection, propositions, and initiatives, especially concerning innovation, sustainable development, and education, the Fédération is in constant contact with all French and European institutions to assure the sector has a pro-growth legislative and regulatory environment.

To achieve these goals, the Fédérations relies on a professional network which includes UFIMH (the French Association of Clothing Manufacturers) in Paris and Euratex (the European Apparel and Textile Confederation) in Brussels, as well as contacts with other federations and its own relationships with institutions.
