FIT’s 17th Annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference took place March 28 and 29 in the Katie Murphy Amphitheatre, in person for the first time since 2019. The theme was Ideas at Work, to emphasize the way sustainability innovation is translating into action.
The conference opened with a conversation between noted author and podcaster Dana Thomas and Maxine Bédat, founder and director of New Standard Institute, a “think-and-do tank” to drive accountability in the fashion industry. They spoke about the lack of regulations and hard data about the environmental impact of fashion brands.
