Kering takes part in sustainable fashion roundtable

15/10/2015
The head of sustainable sourcing at luxury group Kering, Dr Helen Crowley, was one of the participants in a roundtable event hosted by cutting technology company Lectra in Paris in mid-October.

Lectra has said it wanted to host an event on sustainable development in the run-up to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 21), which will take place next month in the French capital.

Dr Crowley said Kering has already developed a series of programmes to measure its environmental impact and reduce it step-by-step throughout the entire supply chain. As an example, she said all Kering brands are being asked to work out environmental profit-and-loss accounts for their businesses.
