The Learning & Innovation Network and its webinar series is aimed at:
Professionals working in fashion, sport and outdoor, workwear, and textile-related businesses
Small, medium, and larger companies
Within the series of webinars offered, different webinars are relevant for different people in your organizations. Some webinars are relevant for CEOs, CFOs and C-suite leaders, and others for buyers, product designers, marketing and communications specialists, sustainability managers, etc.
The network provides a much needed place for sustainability managers to discuss and collaborate.
The learning series is delivered in the form of online webinars, on average two webinars per month. Each webinar lasts a maximum of two hours and includes both presentations and breakout groups, allowing participants to discuss the implications and application of each webinar with industry peers.
As part of the network, we provide opportunities for participants to propose topics of their own choosing on a regular basis, thus providing the flexibility to discuss specific challenges and opportunities as they arise. Members can use these opportunities to invite others within the network to collaborate or work on joint projects.
Participants are also given access to a private Microsoft Teams site where recordings of the webinars, along with other materials, are available for download during the year.

No, you do not need to attend all the sessions. You can pick and choose which sessions are relevant for you. For instance, some webinars may be more relevant for your colleagues in departments such as buying, or marketing and communications. We will make clear which target groups we think should attend. However, you may want to appoint a network coordinator to ensure other people in your organization are aware of and attend the sessions you think are relevant for them.
SFA has extensive experience working with sustainability in apparel and textiles and is also a member of a number of international sustainability focused industry organizations. The SFA Learning & Innovation Network is designed to complement these other networks, adding value by both creating a robust network for sustainability managers and a place to engage top management and other core functions in your company. Without their engagement, sustainability will never become core to your business.
To start, each company will be able to send a maximum of ten people per webinar.
We will host the webinars in the afternoons Stockholm time (CET/CEST), which will make it possible for professionals living in other parts of the world to attend.
If you don’t know us already, our mission is to exponentially accelerate societal progress towards science-based sustainability targets and the global sustainable goals by leveraging the power and influence of the apparel and textiles industry. We do this in three ways: 1) We initiate research and analysis that is needed to make better decisions and to fill any information gaps; 2) We inspire, educate and train change agents, including company professionals, policy makers, researchers, journalists, NGO advocates, and more; and 3) We mobilise key stakeholders around issues such as finance, legislation and accountability.
