TRANSFORMERS ED

Transformers ED is an educational seminar series, working with over 35 colleges and universities globally, for students and consumers who wish to learn about the denim supply chain and understand the environmental impact at each step of production. The in-person and digital conference in New York and London is organized by the Transformers Foundation, the unified voice representing the denim industry and its ideas for positive change. The Transformers Foundation was founded to provide a previously missing platform to the jeans and denim supply chain, to serve as a central point of contact for consumers, brands, NGOs, and media who want to learn more about ethics and sustainable innovation in the industry and to represent the denim supply chain: from farmers and chemical suppliers to denim mills and jeans factories.
