Emma Hakansson is the founding director of Collective Fashion Justice (CFJ), a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the creation of a total ethics fashion system which puts people, our fellow animals and the planet before profit. Working to educate and engage citizens consumers, while consulting with the fashion industry and pushing for legislative change, CFJ recognises the interconnectedness of both our problems and solutions in fashion.

Before founding the organisation, Emma worked as a model, where her love for fashion became compromised by her growing understanding of its injustices. Since then, Emma has run a creative agency for ethical brands, offered industry consultation, worked with other charities, and had her writing, words and work featured in The Guardian, Forbes, Business of Fashion, Vogue Business, Earth Island Journal, Fashion Journal, and plenty more. Emma lectures internationally on total ethics fashion, while CFJ has worked alongside Fashion Revolution, the Center for Biological Diversity, Fashion Act Now, Good On You, and many other leading organisations.
