A Certified Failure: How to Get Beyond Chemical, Social, and Material Certifications

In many ways, certification has been the backbone of the fashion industry’s approach to sustainability. And yet, it’s an approach that’s increasingly under fire for being inadequate and ineffective. This panel brings together voices from different parts of the sustainable fashion community for a conversation about how to get beyond certifications. Panelists include: Anne Manschot of Enact Sustainable Strategies, Andre Raghu of Hire A Partner, Aruna Kashyap of Human Rights Watch, Dr. Siva Pariti of BluWin, and Crispin Argento of Fibretrace.
