A conference and exhibition on March 16 will spotlight opportunities for sustainable clothing production in Bangladesh. More than 60 renowned speakers and 20 exhibitors presenting green production technologies will be present at the event.
Issues on the agenda include circularity, CO2 reductions and climate action, shifting to renewable energy, and human rights due diligence, according to a press release.
The Sustainable Apparel Forum (SAF), whose fourth edition will take place on March 16 in Dhaka, has become firmly established as a showcase event for fashion-sourcing executives in recent years.
Sustainability teams at the world’s leading fashion brands are under heightened pressure to improve their performance on environmental and social issues, read the release.
Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) has become a key boardroom topic, while ongoing regulatory reform means fashion buyers need a better understanding of the sustainability performance of their supply chains.
Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest garment-sourcing destination. In recent years, it has positioned itself as one of the foremost green production hubs. The country easily has the most LEED-rated factories and has also undertaken a huge factory safety programme over the past decade.
The Sustainable Apparel Forum (SAF) 2023 brings together clothing manufacturers, government officials and policymakers, professionals in green finance, human rights specialists, green production and technology experts, fashion sustainability and sourcing teams and NGOs working in fashion supply chains.
The event will include a range of plenaries, seminars, green growth exhibitions and informal networking opportunities.
The Sustainable Apparel Forum (SAF) 2023 arrives at a decisive time for the fashion industry and its sustainability agenda. The past two years have seen a shift away from voluntary agreements by the industry towards hard rules and regulations.
