Considering the significant impact of the fashion sector on societies and the environment, the meeting joined together key industry stakeholders, media, governments, and United Nations system entities to showcase and enable collaborations that accelerate the implementation of the SDGs in the industry, Recover said in a press release.
As a global producer of recycled cotton fibre and cotton fibre blends, Recover is an important actor within the supply chain to drive change and the company aims to be the first in its space to scale its high-value technology globally. The company has already shown its commitment to taking actions that benefit the wider community and allow the scaling of the traceable and resilient circular supply chains needed to achieve climate targets. It recently formalised its membership to the largest initiative in Social Responsibility in the world, the United Nations Global Compact, and its strategy is strongly aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the 17 SDGs. The company has registered its commitments to sector change on the United Nations Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network.
“Throughout our 75-year history, the 17 SDGs have been ingrained into our DNA and strategy at Recover, and we are proud to support the United Nations Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network annual meeting to help engage the fashion industry to accelerate action in achieving them. By collaborating with these global stakeholders, we hope to scale our impact further to help brands and retailers meet their sustainable goals,” Alfredo Ferre, CEO of Recover, said in a statement.
