SUMMARY:ROAD TO 2030 SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT
DESCRIPTION:There is no way forward without a plan. \nWith sustainability initiatives becoming a must-have\, more and more companies are drawing up a roadmap of transformation. From curbing emissions to carbon offsets and ESG funding\, the industry is conjuring strategies toward a greener future. \nTheВ ROAD TO 2030 SUSTAINABILITY SUMMITВ will be Sourcing JournalвЂ™s first in-person event of the year and will take a deeper look into how retail organizations are embarking in achieving their sometimes lofty sustainability goals. It will also provide a deeper look at what tools and technologies companies are leveraging (or should be leveraging) to get them to their end goals. At the end of all this we might still be left with the most looming question on everyone’s minds: will we get there? And what are the ramifications if we don’t?

SUMMARY:Circular By Design: How Apparel Brands Can Make Informed Choices
DESCRIPTION:All materials have impacts. Whether it be fossil fuel inputs\, land and chemical use\, or human rights issues\, brands are keen to show verifiable\, data-driven improvements in their sourcing choices. There are emerging solutions\, and materials with lower impact coming on the market at scale today. Presently\, we need a more honest conversation about the factors driving brand choices\, and the circular solutions that exist in the global market place. \nIn this discussion\, we’ll consider the following points: \n• Why choice and design matter so much\, in terms of choosing the right materials to lower brand and supply chain impact fastest.\n• How brands can make the right impact-driven choices to separate true circular from recycling.\n• How sourcing companies can communicate with apparel designers around the true impact of material choices.\n• Can communicating a full production narrative showing real\, verifiable impact enable greener customer choices? \nHear from our panel: \n• Lucita Jasmin\, director of sustainability and external affairs\, APRIL\n• Sarah Hayes\, sustainability business expert circularity\, H&M\n• Megan Stoneburner\, director of materials\, Textile Exchange \nThe discussion will be moderated by Toby Webb\, founder of Innovation Forum. \n2pm BST / 3pm CET
