In collaboration with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) we ran an informative and inspiring webinar exploring how FSC-certified materials can support more sustainable fashion, tailored to fashion brands, retailers and manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand.

Key Insights from session:

The important role of forests globally. They support the livelihoods of 1.6 billion people globally, play a crucial role in climate regulation and in maintaining biodiversity.
Why FSC matters. The chain of custody approach that allows for the integrity of the system to be maintained and verified which builds trust right across the supply chain.
The impact when forest fibres are not sourced sustainably, how this can lead to deforestation and biodiversity loss.
Consumer expectation of transparency is growing, and how FSC allows your organisation to provide this traceability and communications tool, and demonstrate your commitment to protecting forests.
How FSC can support your organisation’s sustainability goals.
How to get started, even if you're a small brand or retailer.
