Sustainable fashion workshop: building trust through transparency

With more news coming out every day about the negative environmental and social processes propping up the global fashion industry, a strategy is needed for ensuring that sustainability, impact and transparency sit at the heart of your business.

74% of the UK public think clothing brands should be responsible for what happens in their supply chains, but only 11% feel they are kept well-informed about the impacts of clothing manufacturing on the environment and people. – The Changing Markets Foundation, January 2019

Join Provenance in partnership with the British Fashion Council for an intimate half-day workshop specifically designed for those fashion industry professionals working in small and medium-sized businesses that want to set a sustainable, transparent strategy.

BOOK YOUR PLACE HERE

We’ll be discussing trends and the tech driving them, showcase best-in-class examples, and help you own your roadmap for an honest supply chain. The focus will be on taking accountability, making responsible decisions and driving positive impact for the future – all using verified third-parties and data to ensure no ‘greenwashing’ is allowed.
