MATERIAL WORLD

ARE ALL MATERIALS EQUAL?

We deep dive into the progress we can make with material innovation. Ashley Gill shares which brands are leading the industry. We found out from Mohammed Jabbar what the opportunities are within manufacturing. We looked at what material innovation offers the biggest impact (spoiler alert: PUMA’s Howard Williams knows it’s cotton and polyester). And influencer and sustainable materials consultant Monika Poppy gave us the lowdown on what’s needed to bring consumers on the journey.

FOREVER BETTER

HOW DO WE DO BETTER TOGETHER?

It’s the collaboration story we never share. The one where industry players know that if they act together, they can make more progress, faster. At PUMA, we’re focused on a better forever. This means a decarbonised apparel and footwear industry, decent working conditions with fair wages and a motivated supply chain that sees sustainability as business and planet critical. We can achieve this – and more – if we collaborate. We’ve invited specialists who work across the fashion industry – peers, suppliers, NGOs – to help us identify the opportunities and scale true collaboration could have, not just on our industry, but our planet.
