CONSUMER CENTRIC SUSTAINABILITY 2023

Consumer Centric Sustainability (CCS)

We’re at an inflection point as an industry, where sustainability is evolving from a ‘nice-to-have’ to a ‘must-have’ business imperative; a point at which one’s green line is becoming every bit as important as one’s bottom line. Consumer concern for sustainability affects shopping behaviour as 63% of consumers globally – including 77% of consumers in emerging markets – put time and effort into finding sustainable clothing. They connect ideas of sustainability with naturalness and are closely tied to the preservation of earth’s resources. However, with this evolution comes the need for knowledge – on how to most effectively manage this sustainable transformation.

Consumer Centric Sustainability (CCS) @ India Fashion Forum, a purpose driven platform, is a showcase of global value chain partners and their innovations that help improve sustainability of the current offering at retail. From sourcing responsibly to sustainable production techniques, be part of a range of multifaceted conversations at the intersection of fashion, ethics, climate change and culture.

Understanding that buying teams are always on the lookout for new ideas, CCS connects top and emerging brands and designers from within the niche market of sustainable fashion to a curated selection of retailers.

The focus of the event is to engage retailers and brands in ways that are unlike conventional trade show methods. Although traditional business-to-business meetings are effective, we are here to take it one step further by incorporating captivating displays and activations that allow retailers to have a deeper understanding of the products they are buying.
