Inhorgenta Munich 2023
During Inhorgenta Munich 2023, I talked about sustainable and circular strategies and actions for the jewelry and watch industries. Corporate commitments to climate and sustainability are growing in number and scope, becoming a core element for every business. Addressing environmental impacts and sustainable concerns is mandatory in the eyes of many stakeholders. But knowing which sustainable problems are most impactful and relevant can be hard to decide. This is why guidance and support on sustainability-related topics are necessary for businesses interested in thriving in the current market.

Upcycled fashion is becoming more and more common strategy for many sustainable fashion brands but there are many differences in the supply chain between fashion & jewelry especially when talking about upcycling.
The next part was emphasizing the opportunities for change when focusing on upcycled jewelry and how they are translated into actions.
