Canopy’s approach focuses on creating solutions and working together with the largest buyers of pulp and paper products to achieve a much greater impact. We understand that business leaders can be powerful forces for environmental change.

I am really honoured to be joining as a panel moderator at the upcoming Business Environment Summit 2024: Threads of Change, on 8th of October in Warsaw, Poland, organised by Vogue Polska and Boston Consulting Group (BCG). I will be speaking with 3 inspiring industry experts representing different perspectives from the fashion industry: an NGO, a brand and a supply chain partner, on the topic of Rethinking Fashion: Systemic Change for a Sustainable Future. Pippa Smart, Head of Sustainability at Tekla will walk us through effective change levers and practical initiatives which had a positive ripple effect on company's sustainability journey, internally and in the supply chain, including: Tekla’s journey to becoming BCorp certified, their recent work with an NGO ClientEarth on using the power of law to execute human rights, and Tekla's newly established supply chain partners engagement program. Together with the Fibre Solutions Strategist at Canopy, Valerie Langer, we will address the issue of deforestation and fashion industry’s infamous contribution to this issue. We will discuss the power of collective impact and collaboration - zooming in on the recent campaign by Canopy, which galvanised the industry to support the textile to textile recycled Circulose and point to practical solutions available to the industry at the moment. To close the loop and seek more tangible solutions, the final panelists, Laura Bonareu, Co-Founder of The Loop Barcelona and Project Manager at HALLOTEX S.L., will walk us through their innovative environmental reduction programs, and advancing textile to textile recycling from a perspective of a supply chain partner, as well as the much needed collaboration between brands and supply chain partners to move things forward. Organised by the brilliant Zuzanna Krzątała - thank you for the invitation! I’ve said it before and will say it again - amazing to see sustainability being given such a platform in the polish market. The event brings together brilliant minds, activists and change makers actively advocating and tirelessly working to positively transform the fashion industry. I am humbled, excited (and a little intimidated ;)) to be able to contribute to this very much needed initiative and bring more spotlight to these systems change issues and available solutions. If you would like to join us for the conference - there are still a few in person spots available here: https://lnkd.in/dnDRhfuP (For those not being able to join us in person, the conference will be recorded and shared online on Vogue's Youtube channel.) Very much looking forward to this discussion in a couple of weeks! #BusinessFashionEnvironmentSummit2024 #BFES2024 #CSF #SustainableFashion #Sustainability
