The ROI of an Environmental Strategy:
How Can You Convince Your Management?

Following the success of our first event—which sold out in just a few days—we’re reopening registration for the Textile Meetup for those who weren’t able to attend. Spend the morning learning a practical method and developing your own business case.

Event exclusively for executives and CSR managers of fashion brands

Background

You're convinced. Your management isn't quite there yet.

Your brand’s environmental strategy has real value—financial, commercial, and regulatory. But how do you calculate the ROI, and how do you demonstrate it to those who make budget decisions?

Many CSR teams in the fashion industry face the same reality: they understand why this approach is essential, but struggle to translate it into language that resonates with the executive committee. The result: projects put on hold, budgets cut, and an environmental strategy that remains fragile due to a lack of internal buy-in.

During the first edition, about twenty brands worked together on this issue. Given the number of CSR managers who were interested but unable to join us, we are organizing a new edition on the same topic.
