Overcoming the hurdles brought by the pandemic and recovering quickly demands greater collaboration across the global textile industry. What’s more, in the face of today’s new normal a call to action is needed to remain agile and resilient.
In light of this, the crisis evidences that a slow crawl toward change will not suffice any longer. On the contrary, the pandemic has accelerated all previous industry plans in terms of speed, diversification, collaboration, traceability and environmental responsibility.
To catalyze new sustainable systems for environmental and social protection, industry leaders must now show immediate commitment for building strong sustainability strategies, as well as fair and sustainable supply chains.
How can we build strong sustainability strategies? And how can supply chains get rebuilt to ensure that they become more resilient and equitable?
At Leadership & Sustainability, it is our mission to support you in becoming true leaders in sustainability.
