BASF has collaborated with e3 Sustainable Cotton program and the United Nations-hosted Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network for a series of convenings in New York City throughout 2022. As per an Innovation in Textiles report, the network aims to foster transparent, inclusive and transformative engagement of global stakeholders to drive urgent action for sustainability. It will provide an impartial platform for the industry and the UN system to mobilise expertise, innovation, technology and resources towards a sustainable and inclusive Covid-19 recovery, with the SDGs as a guiding framework.
The program will co-host a series of roundtable events to explore how the fashion and lifestyle industries are positioned to collaborate and engage on SDGs.
Jennifer Crumpler, Regional Seed Sustainability and Fibre Development Manager for BASF Agricultural Solutions says, the collaboration will allow us to create awareness about sustainable cotton clothing. It will enable cotton farmers to deliver on sustainability measurements to leave the land better than they found it. It will make the cotton supply chain transparent for consumers. b
