'Ethical fashion – sustainable by design?’ A presentation by Pamela Ravasio

Pamela Ravasio, a founder member of CSR Meetup London, will give a short presentation to set the scene for a discussion amongst attendees on approaches that fashion companies might take to prove their ethical credentials, not the least to often cynical consumers. Pamela is the co-founder of the first and so far only full-process consulting company that specialises in sustainability in the fashion industry. She is also an independent researcher and journalist. Her blog Shirahime (http://shirahime.com) won a 2011 Observer Ethical award and she also contributes to the Guardian Sustainable Business Blog. So please come along to hear what an expert in this area has to say about a topic that is particularly pertinent to the issue of how companies manage globalised supply chains in a responsible way. Once again, for those attendees that might not have been to this venue before, please do notconfuse it with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street! A cash bar will be available the ground floor before and after the Meetup. Usually, food is also available at this venue if ordered before 8pm.
