Industry leaders to gather at the World Textile Summit

Bringing together the world’s most influential textile business leaders to debate issues of strategic importance to the global industry, the World Textile Summit is perhaps one of the most unique one-day events.

To be held on November 1, 2015, the summit will address what really matters to strategic decision makers such as what returns can be expected from capital investment in clean technologies, and what do investors think about sustainability issues.

Aloe Group’s co-founder, Vivek Tandon will set off as to why strong sustainability credentials can help a business to attract investment from capital markets. The mission of the company, it states is to develop hard-asset based companies, which provide proven technological solutions to environmental and social challenges, especially those experienced by the high growth markets of Asia. The company will base its approach on the UN Global Compact.

Paula Oliveira, Director, Interbrand will explore, through their commitment to sustainability, how companies can differentiate themselves from their competitors and further build a unique identity that will attract customers.

A recent survey of CEOs by the United Nations Global Compact on sustainability, revealed that 'brand trust and reputation' were their top reasons for taking action on sustainability. This is what Oliveira’s advice was based on. Others, though, stress that sustainability must be about driving substantial and authentic change and warn regarding the temptation of 'green-washing', which can undermine trust.
