INTERNATIONAL ROUNDTABLE ON SUSTAINABILITY 2019

On March 26th 2019, in Milan, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana hosted the third edition of the International Roundtable on Sustainability, the annual event which highlights the pivotal role of Milan in the development of an international conversation about sustainability in the fashion industry; a fundamental occasion for the circulation and exchange of competencies and developing information among the most important actors of the sustainable revolution occurring in the luxury fashion world.

This year’s event, made possible by our institutional partner Borsa Italiana and official partner Brandart, has seen the participation of the chief sustainability officers of the most prestigious Italian and international fashion houses. The morning plenary session was introduced by the speech of CNMI Chairman Carlo Capasa, who focused on Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana’s latest results and new projects towards a more sustainable industry.

For the first time, the International Roundtable on Sustainabilty invited brands and fashion groups to the stage: Sylvie Bénard of LVMH, Marie-Claire Daveau of Kering Group and Elia Maramotti of Max Mara Fashion Group , shared their thought leadership on luxury fashion and sustainability.

Moreover, Carlo Capasa announced the illuminating findings of CNMI’s groundbreaking new report “Global Sustainability Report: sustainability matters, but does it sell?” , completed with McKinsey & Company.
