Texbrasil brings four companies to sustainable fashion conference in Denmark

From May 14 to 16, the city of Copenhagen, Denmark is hosting the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, one of the most important conferences in the sustainable fashion world. Texbrasil (Brazilian Textile and Fashion Industry Internationalization Program) – the result of a partnership between Abit (Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association) and Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) – is carrying out a business missions to the conference.

Four Program companies – Farm, Rhodia, Dellas Lingerie and Hering – are taking part in the event, known for gathering the biggest leaders in the global industry, NGOs and even politicians, in order to debate environmental, social and ethical issues. One of the mission’s goals is to continue a dialog on the sustainable industry while also providing a chance for fruitful networking.

Fabricio Tardin, Chief Operating Officer at Dellas Lingerie, would like to not only share experiences and acquire new knowledge, but also expects to discover innovative processes that will add value to products and services. “This includes developing production and product design methods and promoting new consumption methods and partnerships across the textile chain,” he explains.

While Daniela Antunes, a New Business Development Manager at Rhodia, says that environmental responsibility is currently one of the textile group’s priorities. “We want to offer our customers sustainable solutions, and I think that during the Copenhagen Fashion Summit we will be able to get in touch with different approaches to this theme, in addition to learning about innovative initiatives,” she says.

In addition to attending the event and the various talks and roundtables, the companies will take part in the launch of the second edition of the Pulse of the Fashion Industry, a survey done by the Boston Consulting Group that seeks to summarize the current scenario in the fashion industry and promote sustainability. The Texbrasil team will also be providing full support during the mission and is responsible for organizing meetings to discuss the main topics covered. The idea is to foster connections and look at how to apply issues to the reality in Brazil.
