Join us at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn on Wednesday next week at American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA)'s Traceability & Sustainability Conference where we’ll be participating in the panel “Forcing Action on Forced Labor: Lessons From the Front Lines of Compliance”. Our CEO and Co-Founder, Shameek Ghosh, will be joined by Andres Guarnizo-Ospina, Senior Manager of Global Public Policy at The Walt Disney Company, Lucas Rock, Associate at ArentFox Schiff and the panel will be moderated by Ethan Woolley, Strategic Growth Executive at Kharon.

With the need to implement digital product passports on the horizon, the significant opportunities that DPPs present are clear: a more sustainable, circular textile industry. At the same time, we find that brands are hesitant for a number of reasons, including the tech learning curve, the need for added transparency and outstanding questions on the precise impact of DPPs in the long term. To address those concerns and shed some light on the future of DPPs, our latest Knowledge Hub article dives deeper into the matter, including how brands can prepare for this next iteration of the industry. https://lnkd.in/grmdPrZd
