With the mounting body of research pointing to the negative social and environmental impacts caused by the fashion industry and the market becoming increasingly concerned about the ethics and sustainability of the fashion brands they purchase from, the Australian Circular Fashion Conference couldn’t be launching at a better time.

An Australian first, this one-day event will be held on March 22 at Sydney Masonic Centre, Goulburn Street in Sydney. The conference will focus on the role of businesses and organisations and the steps that can be taken to ensure they are ‘in touch’ with fashion sustainability. Given the increasing number of fashion consumers demanding transparency and environmental accountability from brands, it has never been more important for fashion labels to adopt sustainable business practices that will see them ‘win over’ the market and set themselves up for success well into the future.

“A company’s approach to sustainability management is indicative of how it deals with stakeholders in general, including consumers, regulators and shareholders,” said Australian Circular Fashion (ACF) founder and conference organiser Camille Reed. “It can serve as a proxy of management quality.”

For fashion businesses keen to stay at the forefront of an ever-changing retail landscape, this event shouldn’t be missed. Conference speakers include Australia’s foremost advocacy specialists and renowned sustainability experts who will provide information about circular design and equip them with the tools and resources to make their businesses more sustainable and economically viable.

“Our primary aim is to first and foremost educate and start important conversations with the biggest and most influential parties in the Australian retail fashion industry. We’ve brought together experts who are excited to share their knowledge of how the apparel sector is tackling sustainability overseas,” said Ms Reed.
