London Luxury Think Tank Thursday 13th June 2019 Spring Studios, 10 Spring Place, London NW5 3BH In association with French Chamber of Great Britain, Spring Studios and the United Nations
Sustainability is a key issue for all of us, and luxury brands should take a leadership position when it comes to environmental and social impact, not least because luxury businesses are hard-wired for the long-term. On 13th June, Walpole is again working with the French Chamber of Commerce on the London Luxury Think Tank; 'What Makes Luxury Sustainable' will be a thought-provoking day of debate, panel discussions and presentations.
In a world where consumption patterns are changing, owning becomes second to experiencing. Secure your tickets to the London Luxury Think Tank, and discover how economic trends such as co-ownership, renting and second-hand purchasing are shaping the luxury sector. Examine how brands are shifting behaviours by changing how they treat their waste and stock. Take a deeper look at sustainable client ownership and the positives for the planet due of the changes in consumer's attitudes. Speakers include: Nadja Swarovski, Member of the Executive Board – Swarovski; Livia Firth, Co-Founder and Creative Director – Eco Age; Janet Carpenter, Managing Director – Spring Studios, Robert Skinner, Executive Director - United Nations Office for partnerships and Sylvie Bénard, Head of Sustainability – LVMH; and Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council.
