Transforming Fashion – how can procurement contribute to a more sustainable apparel industry?WSPD 2022

Social and environmental sustainability has become a priority for apparel companies.

In this panel discussion experienced practitioners, facilitators, and research experts on sustainability, procurement and supply chains in the apparel and fashion industry will share good practice approaches, address key challenges and lessons learned, as well as perspectives that go beyond the current state of sustainable sourcing practices towards the future.
