On Monday, our Secretary General Lutz Walter participated in the event "Navigating Change - ESG Roadmaps to Circular Fashion" organised by the Monitor for Circular Fashion of SDA Bocconi ♻️ After a round of presentations of pledge and circularity pilot projects by an impressive list of fashion industry leaders, several sessions explored regulatory, technological, social and environmental drivers of circular fashion.   In the technological driver session, Lutz highlighted how (digital) technologies can make a good economic case for higher levels of the waste hierarchy such as Refuse, Reduce or Reuse, but how a technological innovation approach alone fails to make strategies on the lower stages such as Repair, Refurbish or Recycle economically viable. He also discussed the growing importance for all companies - large or small - in the fashion supply chain to adopt a sound data-driven business strategy without which the necessary supply chain traceability for the DPP or efficient circular business models cannot be built 🌐 Thank you Francesca Romana Rinaldi and the Monitor for Circular Fashion team for this high-quality event.
