Actions speak louder than words. Sustainable fashion and local solutions

The issue of sustainable development of the fashion industry in the face of global challenges is critical not only for the industry itself, but also for society as a whole. The container crisis (crisis of global supply chains) has put brands seeking to comply with ESG principles in a difficult position. Fashion discussions are centered on finding ways to strengthen local production chains in BRICS+ countries, promoting sustainable production and increasing the role of local producers and brands. How can brands not only meet global quality standards but also contribute to local communities while minimizing their ecological footprint? Fashion and ESG experts will discuss practical solutions to increase the sustainability of the fashion industry, focusing on corporate governance, ethical production, and innovations in supply chains.

  1. What corporate governance measures can help implement sustainable practices in the fashion industry and increase transparency in supply chains?
  2. How can brands effectively integrate local craftsmanship and use local materials in their collections, strengthening local production chains?
  3. What successful examples of collaboration between global brands and local producers can be applied in BRICS+ countries to promote sustainable development?
