Sustainability: Different challenges for different companies

Not all fashion companies are created equal, so sustainability will seem like a totally different challenge - or opportunity! - to each of us.

To answer the question "Can sustainability go hand in hand with profitability?", we need to establish that sustainability strategies can and will vary enormously.

That's why Lectra invited customers, experts and partners from the industry to discuss the topic of sustainability from different and even opposing points of view. All related to Product, Process and People.

Join our session and watch fashion industry executives share their unique journey towards sustainability across entirely different organizations...

...and finally agree there may be only one way to do it:

Start small, aim big. Set out concrete, measurable milestones but involve all departments and stages from planning to storefront, and beyond.
