3 talks to help you understand the ecological challenges facing the fashion industry
Since 2015, Première Vision has been committed to transforming the fashion sector towards a more sustainable model. Founded in 2019, the Paris Good Fashion association has become a major figure in ethical fashion in just a few years. Together these two players have developed a programme of 3 talks presented during the next edition of Fashion Rendez-Vous. This will be a new platform for ideas and discussions around the advances made by the fashion sector and the challenges it faces regarding sustainability.
Talk #1: Tackling greenwashing: the proof is in the data
While rankings and indexes are regarded as authoritative and a guarantee of quality, it is essential to be able to measure performance using trustworthy scientific data. But what kind of data? How do we collect it?
When? Wednesday 13 September, 11 am –12 pm
With: Antoine Gillod, Director of the Global Observatory of Climate Action / Climate Chance Association ; Alban Fournier, Product Manager / (Ecobalyse) – beta.gouv.fr ; Christophe Bocquet, Director of Quality, Responsible Sourcing and Traceability / Chloé
Moderated by Karine Vergniol, Journalist
Talk in French
Talk #2: The ecological challenge from a high-volume perspective: what’s the best business model?
The fight against over-consumption and overproduction is one of tomorrow’s key challenges. In this context, companies whose business model is based on growth and profitability have no choice but to rethink the way they operate. How can we ensure that companies keep growing successfully while safeguarding jobs?
When? Wednesday 13 September, 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
With: Julie Dugard, Climate Manager / BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) ; Aurélien Oosterlinck, Coordinateur / Chaire Comptabilité Écologique ; Sophie Pignères, fondatrice et CEO / Weturn
Moderated by Karine Vergniol, Journalist
Talk in French
Talk #3: Collaboration, co-creation, co-construction… how can brands and manufacturers work together to meet fashion’s ecological challenge?
To speed up the transition, manufacturers and brands need to move forward hand in hand, putting transparency, traceability and knowledge sharing at the very centre of their relationship. Could this process of co-creation be the key to innovation and the solution to the problems facing all players in the sector?
When? Wednesday 13 September, 6 pm – 7 pm
With: Elie Khayat, CSR Director / Lectra ; Laure Betsch, co-founder / Fairly Made® ; Kachen HONG ZWART, Chief Sustainability Officer / Groupe Etam ; Bruno Nahan, CEO / Bugis
