| Sustainable cotton matters, more than you might think |
Cotton is in many more products than you might think. Yet the market is volatile, with lots of political and sourcing risk.
Here and here you can find some background on the issues. They matter, a lot.
Meanwhile demand is rising and a lack of sustainability in grower nations, in farming communities and production methods is placing strain on the industry, and prices world-wide.
The conference on March 16-17 in London will address all this in detail. If you are interested in attending, speaking, or sponsoring just email me on Tobias.Webb@innovation-forum.co.uk.
The event is officially titled:
Sustainable and ethical cotton sourcing: How to get it right, and make it pay for your business
A two-day business event organised by Innovation Forum
16-17 March 2015, Central London location
Sponsored by and in Partnership with CottonConnect.
Here’s the draft agenda and the invitation letter. Please do get in touch if interested.
I'm Tobias Webb, founder of Innovation Forum and Sustainable Wine. I write on this blog, with others, about areas of interest to me in supply chains, circular economy and sustainability in general. I hope you find it useful. I've worked in sustainability for about 20 years, and work with large companies, NGOs and governments all over the world. I often act as facilitator, at our conferences, and other meetings, either private or multi-stakeholder. I also work as a 'critical friend' advisor to companies on strategy and stakeholder engagement. I have a separate wine website on sustainability in wine at
