About

Learn what drives C-suite priorities and how effective leadership can balance short-term pressures with long-term value. We will explore how regulation fits into future-proofing the business, where compliance will be essential for market access, and how organisations can use these shifts to strengthen resilience and reduce exposure to supply chain volatility.

Almost a decade after the Paris Agreement, progress towards 2030 targets remains uncertain. Hear practical examples of collaborative decarbonisation across low-impact materials, nature-based solutions, joint investment, and shared infrastructure. These approaches can reduce costs, support supply chain stability, and help companies stay on course towards net-zero commitments.

Consider the full spectrum of workers, from factories to farms to the waste pickers who support the circular economy. We will discuss the business value of strong labour practices, the steps needed to normalise living wages, and how improved social outcomes can reduce operational risk in a changing climate and labour landscape.

Move beyond data collection for compliance alone. Explore how reporting and traceability systems can support better decision-making, improve supply chain visibility, enhance consumer engagement, and build stronger foundations for long-term operational resilience. We will look at the capabilities required to make data genuinely useful and connected.

Examine what true circularity means in a predominantly linear system, and whether it can support both climate goals and commercial performance. Gain practical insights into the viability of alternative business models, how to shift consumer behaviour, and the barriers and opportunities for scaling textile-to-textile recycling in a resource-constrained and volatile global market.
