B2B Mid-Point Event
The Back to Baselines (B2B) Mid-Point Event took place on 25 February 2025, as an opportunity to review the latest data and evidence relating to industry’s progress towards circularity and sustainable development.
Progress was presented across the sub-network’s five thematic areas: environmental targets, eco-standards and metrics, innovation, skills, and cultures and behaviours, hearing from some of the UK’s leading researchers from different academic backgrounds working in the field of sustainable development in fashion and textiles, together with industry leaders collaborating in the research programme.
A variety of workshops and panel sessions were also integrated in both morning and afternoon sessions, as opportunities to hear directly from the diversity of attendees. This helped inform and better understand different perspectives to further build and develop work in each theme and learn more about the work of the Sustainable Transition Fund projects.
