Sustainability

9th September 2021

Fashion has boomed on a model of mass-production that prioritises profit over social and sustainable responsibility. But as supply chains, and their injustices, become more transparent, the consumer demands change. Change can only occur when the right leaders, policy and visionaries are in place.

This Spotlight invites global players from across the fashion industry to discuss and explore how to shift towards a sustainable and circular future of fashion.
