🌿 We're reflecting back on an impactful workshop for our second Evo Fashion cohort last week. Facilitated by Brooke Roberts-Islam, Founder of Techstyler, the day was packed with valuable insights on how the founders could integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their businesses.

Attendees evaluated their businesses against key ESG criteria and learned about tools like the Higg Index and Global Reporting Initiative. In the afternoon, Brooke was joined by Materra's CEO and Co-Founder, Edward Brial, who shared how the business has grown and pivoted, and how Materra supports its brand partners in meeting their ESG commitments, providing real-world examples of compliance and innovation in the fashion industry. It was a day filled with actionable takeaways and strategies to drive sustainable change in the fashion industry. We're looking forward to the next!
