Vogue business unveils toolkit to conquer sustainability challenges
The relentless pressure to achieve ambitious sustainability targets is squeezing teams across the fashion industry, often leaving them chronically under-resourced and siloed. But what if there was a roadmap to navigate this complex terrain, a practical guide to building a high-performing sustainability unit?
Decoding the sustainability leader: archetypes and skills
For four years, the Vogue Business Sustainability Leaders Survey has been quietly cataloging the experiences of those at the forefront of corporate sustainability. From consultants dispensing best practices to certifying bodies pushing for ever-higher standards, the survey’s data reveals a common thread: sustainability teams are often asked to deliver transformative change with inadequate support. The good news? Vogue Business has translated those insights into a tangible toolkit.
Join sustainability editor Bella Webb and The Now Work founder Hannah Phang on Wednesday, June 24th, for a webinar designed to equip you with the knowledge to build a resilient and impactful sustainability team. The session will unpack the burgeoning field of sustainability archetypes—identifying the individuals who can drive meaningful change—and pinpoint the crucial skillsets needed to accelerate progress. Forget one-size-fits-all solutions; this webinar acknowledges the nuanced realities of team-building within diverse organizational structures.
The pressure is undeniable. Companies are facing escalating consumer demand for ethical practices, stricter regulatory oversight, and a growing awareness of the environmental impact of fashion. But the toolkit isn’t about adding more to already overburdened teams. It's about optimizing what you have—doing more with less. It's about aligning incentives and influence to create a culture of sustainability from the ground up.
The webinar, running from 10am-11am ET (3pm–4pm BST | 4pm–5pm CEST), promises a practical, actionable approach to a seemingly intractable problem. Don't miss this opportunity to equip your team for success. Register at [email protected] for details.
