SUMMARY:Webinar: Evaluating & Monitoring Challenges at the Farm Level of the Bovine Leather Supply Chain - Part 3 : Climate+ Baseline & Strategy for Leather
DESCRIPTION:Textile Exchange has set the goal to help the fashion and textile industry achieve a 45% reduction in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that come from producing fibers and raw materials by 2030. This goal underpins our Climate+ strategy. We call it Climate+ because it goes beyond accounting for GHG emissions. Instead\, it is an interconnected approach that swaps siloed solutions for interdependent impact areas like soil health\, water\, and biodiversity. \nIn parts 1 and 2 of this Leather Learning Webinar Series\, we have taken a deep dive into 2 of the major challenges related to the farming levels of the bovine leather supply chain: animal welfare and deforestation and how they impact climate\, biodiversity\, animal welfare\, and people. \nIn this webinar\, we will explore how leather can contribute to the ambitious Climate+ goals. Our Climate+ Impact team will give an overview of our Climate+ strategy and approach and provide a deep dive on the baseline for leather. The key points of the Climate+ strategy developed for leather will be presented and finally\, we will look into how progress may be measured.

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
