Modest Fashion Runway is committed to making the event as sustainable as possible. The event is certified carbon neutral by the federal government’s Climate Active program. All carbon emissions produced by the event are reduced and tracked, and any remaining emissions are offset. MFR also has several initiatives in place to reduce its environmental impact, such as reducing the amount of printed materials produced, reducing the use of single-use plastics, encouraging attendees to travel by public transport, and using reusable gift bags made from recycled materials. They also do not allow the presentation of fur, angora wool, or the skins of any wild or ‘exotic’ animals in their shows. Additionally, they program sustainability-themed events and collaborate with local fashion community to showcase sustainable fashion.
