SAC Global Member Meeting 2020 - Weaving a Better Future

Join Us

The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) will host its annual 2020 Global Member Meeting September 15-17. Although we can’t meet in person, we invite all of our members to virtually come together and celebrate the achievements we have co-created in the past 10 years, as we focus on this year’s meeting theme – Weaving A Better Future.

Through panel discussions, engaging presentations, and interactive conversations, we will discuss solutions to accelerate the progress of sustainable initiatives and learn how the Higg Index drives impact in a post-pandemic marketplace. At this event, we will introduce the SAC’s next strategic plan and launch the first phase of the Higg Product Module.

As stated in the Weaving a Better Future report released earlier this year, sustainability is threatened in some areas of the industry. The companies that embrace sustainability will lead the way forward after the pandemic to redefine how the industry is run. As the SAC, we want to continue to support and strengthen each other’s impact on that journey.
