Sustainability Symposium: Impact In Action
I attended the Sustainability Symposium hosted by Net Impact to learn about sustainable practices from a business perspective. The event started with a speech by Professor Lynne Andersson on the importance of the inclusion of sustainable initiatives by businesses due to the lack of regulation in the industry. After I participated in the Sustainability in Fashion workshop which was presented by Madeleine Danzberger from Steve Madden. The main takeaway from her presentation was the importance of circularity in the fashion industry for products and the advantage economies of scale can have to strengthen sustainable initiatives. Lastly, I was able to network with various companies such as Nuuly, Johnson Matthey, and Soleins.
