SOURCING at MAGIC

This week, SOURCING at MAGIC united the global community, inspired innovation, and championed sustainability. We are deeply thankful for the success and can’t wait to extend our reach next month in NYC, September 22-24

Day 2 at SOURCING at MAGIC and we are loving it! Today will be another opportunity to listen in on 2 panel discussions. Don't miss it! 11:30am - 12:30pm PST Using Seaweed and Fruit to Make Delicious Clothing: How Material Innovation Contributes to A Sustainable Future You say that you’re sustainable– but what materials are you using in your products? Are there other materials out there that could work better when creating your products? With a focus on seaweed and fruit leather as resources for materials, listen in and learn as our panelists discuss some of the latest innovations in alternative plant-based materials that are 100% sustainable and environmentally preferred. 3:00pm - 4:00pm PST “Policy Session: Unpacking ESG and Regulations in the US” or “Unpacking ESG and Regulations in the US and their Effect on Sustainability Awareness” Sustainability awareness is increasing in all industries and fields, and as the fashion and supply chain markets are evolving over time, companies and businesses also have to contend with new government policies and regulations in the US and European Union countries. This discussion highlights the most recent policies and regulations that directly and indirectly impact the fashion industry, including real deadlines for businesses to meet and achieve carbon emissions reduction goals. Which one will you attend? We'd love to see you at both 😁
