Broadcast live from edie Live 2019 in Birmingham, the Mission Possible sofa interviews offer up an array of the energy and sustainability industry’s leading lights to delve deep into some of the hottest industry topics – from onsite solutions and low-carbon vehicles through to green policy and the circular economy.
The latest episode sees edie reporter Sarah George discuss how disclosure, policy and technology can help solve the fashion sector’s numerous big sustainability challenges, from human rights abuses in supply chains, to consumer-level waste. During the talk, Ditty outlines her policy wishlist for a more sustainable and ethical fashion future, while Fuenmayor explores how digitisation and new technology innovations are helping to boost the disclosure of key environmental and social information.
