WEBINAR

Ripple Effects – Why Textiles Need to Get Serious About Water Risk

3:00 pm GMT, 5 June 2024

Join Richard Wielechowski, Senior investment Analyst (Textiles) at Planet Tracker and Shama Perveen (Ph.D), Director, Water Research at Ceres for this EU Green Week webinar aimed at apparel corporates and their investors.

They will consider what major apparel corporates presently reveal about their water impacts and dependencies of their operations and supply chain and why they need to develop “water transition” plans for both environmental, social and business reasons

Water Stress is already significant in many major apparel supplying regions. Since projected changes in water stress are also often significant and paired with sanitation/drinking water concerns, they pose a problem for brands/retailers attempting to move to a sustainable business model.
