Future-Proof Fashion: The Business Guide to Climate-Resilient Supply Chains - With The British Fashion Council

​The British Fashion Council is partnering with Futerra during London Climate Action Week for an exclusive invitation to preview an exhibition of selected designers from the Institute of Positive Fashion’s Low Carbon Transition Programme, followed by a panel discussion on why climate change is no longer a future risk for fashion.

​From cotton fields facing catastrophic temperature rises to water-stressed wool regions, the physical impacts of climate change are actively disrupting the raw materials and supply chains brands depend on today - it is already reshaping what brands can make, at what cost, and for how long.

​This panel brings together senior leaders across finance, sustainability, brand and investment to ask the urgent question: what must C-suite in all sized fashion businesses do right now to recognise and respond to material scarcity, before it becomes an existential threat to the business.

​Drawing on real-world experience across global businesses, this is a frank, solutions-focused conversation about the decisions that need to be made now.

​Speakers include:

• ​Philly Grogan, Sustainability Lead, Nobody’s Child

• ​Jennifer Droguett Espinosa, Creative Director, Anciela

• ​Katie Ridley, Senior Sustainability Manager, Barbour

• ​Nate Hurst, Chief Social Impact & Sustainability Officer, Visa

• ​Shailja Dubé, Deputy Director, Institute of Positive Fashion, British Fashion Council (Moderator)
