👜 👗 Leather, silk, cashmere, fur and conventional cotton have been among the long-term staples of the luxury fashion industry, and – with the notable exception of real fur – these materials are still widely used. Yet many of these materials are associated with challenges such as pollution, soil contamination, emissions and supply chain transparency. With brands being called to invest in sustainable materials as well as work towards net-zero and meet scope 3 emissions targets, the sector has the opportunity to embrace the emergence of alternative materials. All while exploring how to evolve sustainably, whilst also meeting customer demand and remaining profitable 📈 💸 Key to this transition is the collaboration between luxury brands and their producers and suppliers. Understanding where opportunities for change exist is crucial for implementing effective sustainability strategies ♻️ Our whitepaper outlines some of those potential changes and how luxury brands can overcome them 👉 https://lnkd.in/eczqSX5Q #BSI #SustainableFashion #ConsciousConsumer #LuxuryFashion #ESG #CircularEconomy #SupplyChain
