Sustainability 2021
MOTIF & The Mills Fabrica are joining forces to rewire sustainability in the fashion industry and we’re calling to all agents of change to contribute to the endeavor. This is a gathering by doers for doers, not just dwelling on issues but examining existing and promising solutions, as well as the practical steps and actions that you can and need to take, NOW.
Join us over 3 virtual sessions on February 24-26, 2021, as together we will aim to set the ecosystem standards straight, scope out innovation clusters while clearing out the hype, and shine a light on a pathway towards circularity.
This event will be highly educational and social through content & features which will be unveiled regularly between now and event day. You will be able to connect with a community of like-minded professionals, have public and private conversations as well as gain access to a wide array of top resources. All of this for free, no kidding.
Sign up below, get your questions ready and we’ll ping you when it’s time to come back!
Welcome to day one, together we will analyse the problems holding us back from becoming truly sustainable.
We will dive into the multi-disciplinary stakeholder requirements and how to practically effect change. We will examine how we measure progress towards a sustainable future, from the role of finance, NGOs, policies and regulations, to the standards we need to achieve.
