The fashion system toward the Digital Product Passport

To celebrate its tenth edition, the 4sustainability Event chooses the road: the one already traveled together with brands and companies in the fashion supply chain for the reduction of production impacts and the one that will lead the system to the widespread application of the digital product passport, under the converging pushes of the legislature and the market. The title of the 2023 edition, On the Road, recalls these themes, but also the type of location to which the 4sustainability Event moves starting this year: the home of businesses, where fashion literally comes to life.

The choice has fallen this year on Lanificio F.lli Balli, an excellence of the Prato area where 4sustainability ten years ago was born getting today to cover all the main districts of fashion & luxury.

The Event is aimed primarily at fashion & luxury brands and manufacturing companies, consistent with the framework’s historical mission of fostering dialogue and collaboration between brands and the supply chain. Researchers and academics, sustainability and sustainable fashion experts, journalists, and representatives of major international organizations and initiatives engaged in the fashion system’s transition to sustainability are also invited.

Once again this year, participation in the 4sustainability Event is free but possible by invitation only. From the invitation you can directly access the registration form to be filled out in its entirety.

The deadline for registration was September 1st. We apologize, but we are no longer able to accommodate new requests.

There are no strict rules in this regard, but we have made an effort to ensure the presence of as many companies as possible with at least one person. Unfortunately, as of today, we cannot accept any more requests.

There is no way to participate remotely in the 4sustainability Event: this year’s edition is exclusively in-person.

The confirmation for registration requests, which is essential to access the event location, has been sent to the email address provided in the registration form. It’s not necessary to show the confirmation email, but please check your email messages, including the Spam folder. The lists are now officially closed, and it’s no longer possible to register.

Sure. The main thing is that you notify us well in advance giving us the first and last name of the person who will take your place. If you are no longer able to come and no colleague will replace you, it is all the more important that you write to us so as not to preclude others from the possibility: in case of no cancellation or cancellation after September 1 – the deadline for registrations – there is a penalty of € 100.00 that we will allocate to charity. For any communication regarding the Event, the address to refer to is è events@processfactory.it.

The format of the Event consists mostly in round tables. Thus, no real face-to-face presentations are planned. After the event is over, we will consider whether to share with participants only a summary of what will have emerged.
