Innovation Forum: Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference

15.12.2020 Share

I am pleased to let you know that next year’s Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference will take place virtually on 27th-29th April 2021.

This flagship business conference will provide a complete overview of leading practices, key challenges and major innovations across the apparel and textiles industry. We’ll equip delegates with the best-practice and guidance to adapt and deliver on ambitious climate targets, evolving stakeholder expectations and value chain transformation.

You can see more information on the conference website.

Some highlights of the agenda include:

• Fashion, policy and COP26: How should you prepare your board for COP26 expectations and outcomes?

• Climate innovation: How to drive effective action towards climate-positive fashion and apparel

• Circular economy in fashion: What is required for scale?

• The factory perspective: Insights into the industry’s key challenges and the role of brands to support and enable sustainable manufacturing

• Regenerative agriculture, biodiversity and healthy soils: How do you engage farmers and drive sustainable practices?

• Social risk and responsible sourcing: How to adapt practices to protect all workers within the supply chain

• Does sustainability have to come at the expense of style? A debate on the trade-offs in the industry

• Consumer trust and the rise of brand activism: What is now expected of leading brands?

• Living wage: Can collaboration be the catalyst to scale for living wage initiatives?

• Organic cotton: What are the real numbers, impact and possibilities of affordable scale?

• The future of fashion retail: Second hand, resale, repairs and what they mean for the future retail environment

• Acting on transparency: Will transparency lead to sustainability or to transparent unsustainability?

The full agenda can be found here.

Sessions will be held in a variety of engaging and interactive formats that involve the audience and promote open, honest dialogue. We’ll ensure the content is both practical and realistic for business as we get your questions answered.

We’ll be joined by 250+ representatives from fashion brands, investors, retailers, NGOs, government, factory representatives and supply chain actors. The objective is to bring together a broad range of key stakeholders to ensure that the dialogue is well rounded, structured and drives progress.
