Episode description

Global supply chains and seasonal production gives fashion a big carbon footprint. We’ve heard a lot about this in fast fashion. But in the luxury space, the story is changing. Shoppers are conscious of where products come from, and how they impact the planet and people. But how can companies harness sustainability to drive purpose and growth?

Today, host Becky Willan speaks to a Global Director of Sustainable Business reshaping purpose in fashion. Tom Berry has been at FARFETCH for 5 years - a company that connects customers in over 190 countries with 1,400 of the world’s best-known fashion brands, boutiques and department stores. Four years into launching their sustainability strategy, Positively FARFETCH, Tom is demonstrating clear commercial results from their groundbreaking approach.

In this episode you’ll learn how FARFETCH embraces partnerships with forward-thinking start-ups, providing tangible solutions to the industry’s problems. And how small behavioural changes among company leaders, workforces and consumers, can help drive profit with purpose.
