This convention is a unique fashion industry event bringing together the entire global industry ecosystem to hear high level industry insights and to jointly discuss concrete actions involving the entire industry ecosystem to create faster industry transition.

The apparel industry faces huge challenges that require it to transition to a more effective, more sustainable model. It is our conviction that the solutions to escape from the deflationary spiral the industry has ended up in can largely be found upstream. The apparel industry is making a transition to a sourcing model based on respect for people and planet, on flexibility and the reduction of uncertainty. The current predominant adversarial relations in the supply chain are a barrier to this transition. Sustainability and flexibility require investments in processes that stretch across the supply chain and so these processes can only be carried out when buyers and their suppliers work together.

‘Our industry in transition: Building stronger, smarter and more sustainable supply chains’.

Field notes: The Global Organic Textile Standard and Sustainability

Ely Battalen - Sustainability Consultant and Educator

The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world. The Global Organic Textile Standard is a direct climate action tool. In our discussion, we will unpack both the environmental and social components of the Standard, drawing from direct field experience with the cotton gins, dye houses, cut and sew facilities, spinners, weavers, marketers, brands and labels.
