Sustainability is a complex issue that require long-term thinking. Often, the most meaningful and lasting change occurs when companies collaborate to achieve shared goals. NZTE is excited to bring you an event on the topic of collaboration alongside Allbirds, one of the world’s most innovative sustainable brands.
Allbirds has roots in New Zealand and sources ZQRX merino wool from NZ farmers for their innovative footwear products. In the past decade, Allbirds has grown into a global player and household name among sustainability-minded apparel consumers, with a growing portfolio of products and new materials like plant leather.
You’ll get insights into:
- How Allbirds has collaborated and innovated across their supply chain, including their partnership with Adidas, open sourcing their carbon labelling, and more.
- What Allbirds has learnt on their sustainability journey, and their advice for growing companies in New Zealand.
About our panelists:
- NZTE’s Sustainability Lead Florence van Dyke and Sustainability Advisor Chris Lijzenga will be facilitating a discussion, followed by a Q&A.
- Our panellist from Allbirds is Aileen Lerch, Sustainability Manager. Aileen’s role is to support Allbirds’ vision and commitment to creating better things in a better way, fuelled by a belief that the fashion industry needs to focus less on flash and more on thoughtfulness.
Why attend?
The webinar will be particularly relevant to businesses who want to learn from an aspirational brand on sustainability and innovation, as well out to tell a sustainability story that resonates with an international audience. Allbirds will share practical tips and advice for NZ exporters on how to leverage a community and collaborate to meet sustainability goals.
