About
The business case for sustainability has flipped: the question is no longer what action costs, but what inaction will. The Apparel Impact Institute estimates climate inaction could reduce fashion profits by 34% by 2030 and erase up to 70% of the sector’s $1.77 trillion value by 2040, driven by carbon pricing, raw material volatility, and rising energy costs. At the same time, Cornell’s Global Labor Institute highlights $65 billion in export earnings at risk from heat and flooding in key production hubs. NYU Stern’s ROSI™ (Return on Sustainable Investment) methodology is helping brands quantify the financial upside of investing in supply chain resilience. Join us for a conversation on what climate risk really means for the balance sheet and why the cost of waiting may be the biggest risk of all.
