🤝 Convenings that bring together tangible solutions, a spirit of collaboration, intent, and action are critical, and that’s what this year’s #FutureFabricsExpo supplied in large doses. 2024 marks the 11th year of the expo initiated by Laudes Foundation partner The Sustainable Angle, which continues to showcase next-gen solutions to the industry with over 5000 exhibitors this year. 💬 Driving the conversation around scaling circular systems around waste reduction, our Director of Industry Programmes Amol Mehra moderated a panel session with our partner Fashion for Good, together with Circle-8 Textile Ecosystems, NewRetex A/S and Paradise Textiles, unpicking the barriers and levers to unlock with brands, suppliers and manufacturers. The conclusions: - Collaboration is critical to taking ideas from seed to scale - Joint commitments, financing and coordinated action across the value chain is required - For innovators it’s critical to focus on continuous impact and optimising R&D - Brands need to signal demand, make and honour commitments, set and embed KPIs throughout the organisation - Supportive policy and regulation, alongside an evolving capital stack that scales with innovators is vital. 🔗 Read more about our work in the fashion industry on our renewed website. https://lnkd.in/e7jwk9c5 #CircularFashion #NextGen

Next gen IS this gen. The movement to next-gen materials is a certainty. Findings from our partner Sustainabelle Advisory Services’s new report "Next Gen to This Gen: Scaling Material Innovations in the Fashion Sector”, reveal insights from across the supply chain that indicate a shift to better materials is imminent. Consumers are demanding more from brands to provide better materials and more circular solutions. Brands are increasingly open to embracing new materials that can ease supply chain risks, comply with regulations, help them meet ambitious climate impact targets by lowering their footprint. Climate tech sectors like solar and EVs have laid a path that fashion can confidently follow to implement next-gen materials in their supply chains and products. Across the industry, coordinated action can effectively realise material innovations today!

📢 New Whitepaper Alert 📄 Leaders of the Urban Future #LOTUF, in partnership with Systemiq Ltd., has released a crucial whitepaper on unlocking the low-carbon real estate market. ✂️ If we are going to halve real estate emissions by 2030 to meet 1.5°C targets, we must treat carbon and energy data like financial data for informed decision-making. 🤝 Collaboration from all stakeholders, including lenders, tenants, and policymakers, is essential, but Real Estate Investors play a critical role in: 1. Driving demand for transparency 2. Enhancing rating tools 3. Facilitating data sharing 4. Advocating for policy change. 👉 Download the Whitepaper below for more insights. #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #RealEstate #Investors #ClimateAction #Transparency
How can we unlock rapid decarbonisation in the real estate sector? 🚀 Launching today, Seeing is Believing presents the investor view – from Leaders of the Urban Future #LOTUF in partnership with @Systemiq Ltd – on how to unlock the low-carbon real estate market, with clear actions for key stakeholders to get us there. ATP, BlackRock, HOOPP (Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan), Ivanhoé Cambridge, Norges Bank Investment Management, Pictet Group, Urban Partners, and Victory Group ⚠ Real estate emissions are still rising and make up around 40% of global emissions. We must more than halve these by 2030 to meet 1.5°C targets. Regulation is ultimately needed to drive this, but in the near term decarbonisation must be driven by a clear demand signal for low-carbon buildings. 🔓 To help unlock a well-functioning market for low-carbon real estate, we need carbon and energy data to be shared and used like financial data to inform decision-making. Market players should be able to assess buildings and portfolios using real carbon and energy data, and compare this against 1.5°C-aligned or better targets. ✅ Investors can play a key role in delivering this through (1) stimulating demand for transparency; (2) using and driving better ratings tools; (3) facilitating data sharing; and (4) advocating for policy. ✅ But we also need (1) lenders, tenants, and other investors to demand performance data; (2) certifications and ratings to improve transparency and set targets informed by 1.5°C pathways; (3) standard-setters to align on 1.5°C pathways; (4) external valuers to incorporate carbon; and (5) policymakers to introduce ambitious, performance-based regulation. 📢 Changing market convention like this has been done before, but requires a collective voice and collective action. 👉 For more information, and to download the Whitepaper, head to the LOTUF website: https://lnkd.in/e6mw8rxS #LOTUF #SeeingIsBelieving #LowCarbonRealEstate
