From the runway to your local H&M in weeks, we are living in an age of fast fashion. Clothes are made quickly and cheaply in factories around the globe at an unprecedented pace. What are large retailers doing to ensure sustainable sourcing practices, fair labor conditions, and environmental best practices in their supply chain? As investors and as conscious consumers, how can we make informed decisions about the fashion industry?

Join WISE Boston and Conscious Capitalism to discuss the case for fashion with integrity, including sustainable fashion trends, innovations and impact stories with experts from the Good Clothing Company, Timberland and TAU Investment Management.
