Make it British Live

IEMA was delighted to attend Make It British Live in May – an event showcasing British manufacturers and producers of textiles, clothing and homeware.

It was fascinating to learn about the challenges and opportunities faced by the fashion and textiles industry. Delegates emphasised issues around sustainable sourcing and transparency in the supply chain, but we learned that the majority of environment and sustainability issues in this industry are not dissimilar to other sectors.

We're excited to develop our relationship with the fashion and textiles industry, and to share our guidance and expertise with the sector going forward – especially with regard to creating and maintaining a sustainable business. Are you an IEMA member working in fashion and textiles? We'd love to hear from you – email [email protected] to join the conversation.
