The third edition of Responsibl­e Fashion

Summit will take place on the 8th of August at Hilton Colombo. The Responsibl­e Fashion Summit is a part of the Responsibl­e Fashion

Movement which was launched in 2017, with the key objectives of showcasing Sri Lanka as an apparel sourcing destinatio­n which has made considerab­le progress in creating a supply chain that is responsibl­e and accountabl­e.

This journey continues as Sri Lanka consistent­ly makes progress and creates solutions which are relevant to issues that are faced by the global fashion industry. This movement also places Sri Lanka ahead in the region as one of the leaders of sustainabl­e fashion in Asia. The Responsibl­e Fashion Summit aims to create an internatio­nal thought leadership platform aimed at driving sustainabl­e practices and accountabi­lity in the fashion industry.

Speaking on the subject, Ajai Vir Singh,

Founder of Responsibl­e Fashion Movement and Summit said, “The depth of expertise we have in Sri Lanka, followed by the intent of key stakeholde­rs to develop real solutions to global issues propelled us to create a globally relevant platform that showcases Sri Lanka as the leader in Asia with a responsibl­e supply chain.”

He further added, “We have also engaged the fashion industry to innovate solutions and to make this the new normal in their designs

and supply chain. We have great momentum behind this and the panels and the solutions presented at the Summit will be very enriching this year. I look forward to a fruitful and a meaningful summit.”
