Microfiber Action Alliance
Nike, Patagonia and other apparel brands joined The Nature Conservancy to form the Microfiber Action Alliance, a cross-industry effort to find ways to reduce fibres released throughout textile supply chains. The hook is the unlikely collaboration between major competitors on a shared pollution problem, with findings intended to help the wider industry act.
Why it worked: It turned rivalry into a coalition, backed by a named NGO and hard leakage stats, promising industry-wide, publishable fixes on a deadline.
The lesson: Consider convening direct competitors under a neutral referee to co-release a time-bound playbook solving a shared, measurable externality.
