The fashion industry is balancing between sustainability and competitiveness as the industry is facing a transformation over the next five years. From waste management to circular business models, driven by sustainable business practices in the EU, these changes will directly impact textile producers and the textile supply chain.
Simultaneously, the fast fashion industry faces new challenges in copyright infringement cases. Unlike traditional disputes between powerful brands, fast fashion giants are now active litigants, filing lawsuits against each other as they expand globally. Examples include ZARA and H&M filing lawsuits seeking injunctive relief and damages.
In our session we will look at the upcoming global changes, focusing on sustainability practices and the far-reaching implications for the fast fashion supply chain. We will guide you through the evolving landscape of sustainable practices. Together we will discuss and explore, how:
- the different sustainable EU initiatives will reshape the fashion industry (Transformation in the Fashion Industry);
- the circular models and waste management will directly affect textile producers and global supply chains (Impact on Supply Chain);
- sustainability obligations, especially in the European Union, will alter global trade, leading to increased costs and logistical challenges the fast fashion industry (Change of Global Trade) and
- legal contracts will need even more efficient dispute resolution mechanisms for potential disruptions (Fast Fashion Litigation).
Join us! And be part of the conversation on navigating these multi-dimensional challenges across the full supply chain and the proactive litigation prevention.
