The UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT) is hosting a programme of webinars to accompany the Sustainability 101 series of publications, developed with UKFT members in mind. This is part of UKFT’s goal to simplify the journey towards sustainability and help companies make the right choices by providing unbiased, industry-specific guidance.

We are pleased to announce that Callie Weldon, Standards Exchange Manager at Textile Exchange, will host a webinar on 30 January 2024, showcasing Textile Exchange’s wide range of tools and offerings, including:

Material standards: to clearly communicate information about a product’s origin, production processes and distribution.
The Trackit traceability tool: to trace your product’s journey through the supply chain and provide concrete evidence for your green claims.
The MCI platform: to measure and mitigate impacts within the supply chain.

Callie will also assess the business value of getting certified as a tool to verify and communicate sustainability efforts both internally and externally. She will offer insights into the chain of custody and the importance of collaboration between manufacturers, brands and retailers to ensure that certification standards are met.

*This webinar can be watched back on demand.
