Join us on Wednesday 6th November for BRC’s first Fashion Sustainability Summit in partnership with H&M, convening fashion brands and retailers, government and industry initiatives to consider the latest barriers and breakthroughs to achieving a sustainable fashion industry.
The session will cover two major challenges: fashion’s impact on nature and biodiversity and circular business models. We will cover topics such as the EU Strategy For Sustainable and Circular Textiles, Textiles Extended Producer Responsibility (tEPR), the UK government’s agenda for textiles, deforestation, microplastics and nature protections.
