Tackling greenwashing: the proof is in the data

Amidst a sea of greenwashing and a proliferation of rankings and indexes deemed ever more advantageous, measuring is crucial to making progress. To do that, we need to rely on trustworthy and international scientific data. Yes, but which data? How do we collect it? From whom? On what scientific basis?

• Alban Fournier, Product Manager / (Ecobalyse) – beta.gouv.fr
• Christophe Bocquet, Director of Quality, Responsible Sourcing and Traceability / Chloé

Collaboration, co-creation, co-construction… how can brands and manufacturers work together to meet fashion’s ecological challenge?

We can only succeed together. The time when a brand’s relationship to a manufacturer was confined to being merely an order-writer is over. Scope 3 accounts for over 90% of the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. To accelerate the ecological transition, there must be a dialogue between manufacturers and brands. A dialogue based not only on transparency & traceability, but also on the building of trust and the sharing of knowledge in a spirit of goodwill. No one is the sole arbiter of the truth, and the only way to innovate and solve the concrete problems facing all players, brands and manufacturers is through co-creation.

Speakers:

• Elie Khayat, CSR Director / Lectra 
• Laure Betsch, co-founder / Fairly Made®
• Kachen Hong Zwart, Chief Sustainability Officer / Etam Group
• Bruno Nahan, CEO / BUGIS

The ecological challenge from a high-volume perspective: what’s the best business model?

The fight against overconsumption and, therefore by extension overproduction, is one of tomorrow’s key challenges. If the sector is serious about addressing its urgent climate, environmental and social problems, it has to tackle the issue of volumes. Since the current business model is based exclusively on growth and profitability, this means rethinking the very way that businesses operate. OK, but how? What are the new business models? How can we protect jobs and ensure that companies continue to grow?

Speakers:

• Julie Dugard, Climate Manager / BSR (Business for Social Responsibility)
• Aurélien Oosterlinck, Coordinateur / Chaire Comptabilité Écologique
• Sophie Pignères, fondatrice et CEO / Weturn
• Moderated by Karine Vergniol / Journaliste
