Today’s consumer is increasingly savvy. Meanwhile, sustainability isn't just about feeling good, it's about reducing waste and cost. But how? Join special guests Eli Steltenpohl of Califia Farms, Iris Alonzo of Everybody (and former chief creative officer for American Apparel), and other guests for an "un-panel" discussion share best practices after a brief talk by sustainability expert Carolyn Casavan.

Whether you are a purpose-driven brand or just a manufacturer that wants to grow customer loyalty and profits, we hope you'll jump in and share your ideas and learn from each other. We'll talk about the key elements of being an ethical and sustainable manufacturer, how to implement these practices in your own factory or supply chain, and how to communicate your efforts to your customers so they can become better informed consumers.
