Partner: Transformers Foundation
Locations: London, UK | New York, USA
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.
“Transformers Foundation strongly believes in the mission and message of the Sustainable Development Goals and we are committed to using our platform to accelerate the adoption of them in the denim supply chain.”
COMMITMENT TO ACTION
Transformers ED actively applied the Sustainable Development Goals in their educational programming for students globally, specifically with a focus on the denim supply chain.
PARTNERSHIP
Through this collaboration, the Conscious Fashion Campaign worked with Transformers ED to host conversations that educated the next generation of industry leaders about the intersection of the Sustainable Development Goals and the fashion sector.
