Sustainability Week: Industry Panel and Interactive Installation

The Sustainability Hub is delighted to share the success of the Sustainability Week events! The week began with the insightful panel discussion "Sustainability Challenges in Production and Consumption" on Monday 15 September 2025, where leading researchers and industry experts unpacked the complexities of sustainable business and policy innovation in fashion industry. Following this, from 15 to 19 September 2025, the "How Do You Choose?" interactive installation captivated participants, immersing them in various roles and prompting thoughtful discussions on consumer choices and ethical practices. Both events fostered valuable dialogue on shaping a more responsible future. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all speakers, participants, and contributors for their engagement. Stay tuned for more thought-provoking events as we continue exploring the intersection of sustainability and business!
