About
The sustainability era of lofty pledges and glossy reports is over; the next decade is about integration. Fashion companies are learning that sustainability must live inside operations — sourcing, logistics, design, finance — not in a separate department or marketing slide. This panel will explore key questions such as: What does it actually look like to embed sustainability into daily decision-making across product and sourcing teams? How can data and traceability systems shift from “compliance” tools to business intelligence assets? Where are the cost efficiencies hiding in circular design, reuse, or smarter inventory management? What are the new success metrics beyond “percent recycled materials?”
