Sustainable Fashion Revolution: Why and How to?

Join us for this in-person discussion exploring the sustainable fashion movement! 

Historically, the fashion industry has outstandingly been a source of production-related waste and pollution around the world. To put it in context, the fashion industry is the second-highest user of water and the second-highest polluter accounting for 10% of global carbon emissions. On top of the evident environmental issue, industry practices- like poor working conditions, and pollution of rivers- impact negatively society's living conditions, health, and prosperity.

It's time for fashion to be accountable and search for new ways! During our session, we will look at several angles including how sustainable fashion has emerged, how it creates a positive impact, and showcase two local successful business models.

Our panel discussion will be enriched with the entrepreneurial perspectives from Sanaz Wasser from Sanikai a Swiss-based sustainable fashion brand, Annabelle Hutter from Säntis Textiles, and Danae Motta from Robeco on the research perspective. Join us for this session which will elaborate on the topic from both an environmental and social point of view, and show us how the investment sector can support the sustainable fashion revolution!
