Some would say the consumption practices encouraged by global, fast-fashion brands have created a throw-away society, involving high-energy use, labour exploitation and increased carbon emissions - all for the latest trend.
Though many consumers are starting to take notice, is their call for change being heard? Does a circular value chain really solve the core problems of the industry? And will companies be able to develop new ways of manufacturing fast enough?
We have assembled a panel of experts and leaders in the industry to share their views on the future of sustainable fashion. Come hear from each of our guest speakers, then stay for a discussion and Q&A.
Join us August 28 as we speak to:
- Ina Vikøren, Sustainability Manager, H&M
- Anja Bakken Riise, Leader, Framtiden i våre hender (Future in Our Hands)
- Gisle Mariani Mardal, Head of Innovation, Norwegian Fashion Hub
- Ingun Grimstad Klepp, Researcher, Forbruksforskningsinstituttet SIFO and OsloMet
- Ole Eivind Siggerud, Store Manager and Head Buyer at Livid Jeans
It’s the latest #FutureOf talk series presented by Business for Peace and MESH. We're also pleased to be part of the programming for Oslo's premier fashion event, OsloRunway. The event is free to attend (you’ll just have to pay for anything you purchase from the bar), but please RSVP to let us know you’ll be joining us.

Organizer of The Future of Sustainable Fashion
Business for Peace is an international foundation based in Oslo that aims to support, inspire, and recognise global business leaders who are positively changing the face of business.
At the centre of the Foundation’s activities is the annual Oslo Business for Peace Award, conferred to exceptional individuals who exemplify the Foundation’s concept of being businessworthy: ethically and responsibly creating value both for both business and society.
The Foundation also hosts an annual Summit bringing together business leaders, investors, leaders of NGOs, politicians, academics, and civil society from all over the world to discuss the practical actions needed in order to make substantial and sustainable business contributions to society.
