Description 

This program responds to the industry's increasing urgency to tackle issues such as climate change, worker rights, circular practices, water conservation, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) objectives. The importance of mapping and tracking our supply chains has never been greater. Achieving transparency and sustainability throughout the supply chain has become vital to encourage responsible policies and actions. With considerations like brand reputation, staying compliant with regulations, and safeguarding the planet's future, prioritizing the mapping of supply chains has become a necessary step. It's not only about demonstrating commitments to consumers and government regulators but also aligning with internal values and targets to contribute positively and help safeguard our world.  

Co-located with this conference, AAFA’s Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee meetings provide attending members with expanded resources and alignment.   

Audience

All apparel, footwear, and fashion retail industry professionals are encouraged and welcome to participate including compliance, supply chain, corporate social responsibility, environmental, and sustainability professionals are invited to register. This program is closed to press attendance and coverage.
