Brandix Sustainability Summit on Tuesday

• Discussions to encompass Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives and policies

Brandix Apparel Ltd. will hold its much-anticipated Sustainability Summit 2022 on 22 November from 5:30 to 7 p.m. virtually.

Held for the second consecutive year, Brandix intends to focus this year’s iteration on discussions encompassing varied aspects of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) through this virtual summit. 

The event brings together experts who will speak on pressing issues that we face in our world, with specific focus on manufacturing industries. Each of the speakers bring a wealth of knowledge in policies and initiatives at global, national, or organisational levels toward sustainable development, the risks that would be faced with insufficient focus on this crucial area, and the rewards that can be gained with steps forward. 

This year’s panel of international speakers are devoted to true sustainable development and include, UN Global Compact Senior Manager Corporate Engagement Claire Kells, International Finance Corporation (IFC) Senior Environmental and Social Development Specialist Ruby Ojha, a member of the World Bank Group, and PVH Corp. Senior Director – Corporate Responsibility (SA) and Global Sustainability (Offshore) Tejas Sampat. 

The panellists will be backed by members of the team from Brandix, namely, Brandix Deputy General Manager – Group Engineering Akila Fernando and Brandix Group Sustainability Engineer Vinura Jayewardene, who will draw from examples of the organisation’s own sustainability framework anchored to the pillars of Air, Water and Earth. 

With attendance figures exceeding the 1,000s for last year’s Summit, Brandix is confident that this year too, a global community of like-minded participants who strive to make an impact on our environment and society, will come together once again. It is expected that the Summit will unlock the power of sustainable growth through championing efforts to address critical issues, and to drive true impact across many industries. 

Brandix extends the invitation to all those interested to follow their social media platforms for more details on this summit, and to join the discussion, listen to experts in the field and share views, as they unlock the power of sustainable growth.
