ABOUT
Practices, processes and purpose. Those are the ways the fashion industry can work toward sustainability. Fashiondex and LIM College have partnered up for the second time to present the Fashion & Sustainability Summit, a one-day conference focusing on tangible solutions to help fashion businesses operate with sustainably and responsibly.
A sustainable business model can be both ethical and profitable and the Fashion & Sustainability Summit will explore ways for companies to increase sustainable practices in every area from fabric design and post-textile management to shipping and more. The summit will delve into how designers, manufacturers, and retailers can reduce their eco-impact while growing their business.
