Online seminar #13: Impact Investing with precision & purpose to unleash Sustainability improvement potential

Fashion industry has wide ranging contribution towards jobs, livelihoods and trade. At the same time, its resource intensive nature means that it also has significant water, energy, chemicals, and waste footprint. Lawmakers in Europe have responded with 16 legislative tools to address the unsustainable aspects of fashion industry and many brands have established policies and targets for improving social & environmental performance. Some of the changes require capital expenditure for better machinery, switching to renewable energy, better chemicals, etc. During this technical seminar, participants were introduced to an overview of funding opportunities related to sustainable development for textile industry. Participants also heared from Impact Investment related funds about their experience, plans and objectives using case studies. In the following you can find the recording of the seminar along with the knowledge product.
