Inclusive and sustainable apparel for SDGs
The Island
|April 09, 2025
The European Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (ECCSL), in collaboration with the Strengthening Social Cohesion and Peace in Sri Lanka (SCOPE) programme, recently hosted its third industry-focused event, bringing together apparel-sector stakeholders to exchange experiences and practical insights on embedding inclusivity and sustainability into business operations.
-
Building on the success of ECCSL's earlier events focused on tourism and food and agriculture, this apparel-focused gathering convened government representatives, industry leaders, business practitioners and the academia to discuss practical strategies for embedding inclusivity and sustainability into business operations.
While many businesses already recognize the importance of these principles, the event emphasized practical implementation, shifting the conversation from the "why" to the "how" of inclusive and sustainable practices.
