ASW: India’s Premier Sourcing Show

Promoting the agenda of greener future in the fashion industry

The fashion industry today is being scrutinised for its unsustainable practices due to growing concerns regarding environmental impact, labour practices, animal welfare, fast fashion and supply chain transparency.

To meet these challenges, all the fashion supply chain stakeholders are implementing sustainable innovations, processes or strategies for a greener future.

SustainableNXT is a platform created to identify and recognise the strides that are being made in reducing the industry’s environmental impact and creating fairer working conditions, as well as transparency across the supply chain.

SustainableNXT acknowledges prominent stakeholders in the fashion, apparel, and textile industry while providing a forum for discussing sustainability-related issues and networking opportunities. The inaugural SustainableNXT event will take place on 20th July 2023 at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Bengaluru.

The event will provide a platform for sustainable retailers, brands, technology development partners, material innovation companies, green solution providers and green manufacturers to convene and address concerns. Together, they will work towards defining the most effective sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing practices, thereby promoting a more environmentally conscious approach within the industry.
