About this Event

15 Shades of Green: From Environmental Impact to SDG Impact

Join us at 15 Shades of Green for a conversation on green fashion during Fashion Revolution Week featuring retail and sustainability thought leaders from our industry. We will bring together local sustainability leaders in Fashion and understand how they are changing the path of fashion, reducing its negative environmental impact and turning it into a driver for the implementation of the SDGs.

Fashion Revolution Week is a week of global campaigns and activities taking place during the week of 24th April to demand greater transparency in the fashion supply chain including putting an end to exploitation, providing decent working conditions, and focusing on sustainable production.

Industries as diverse as food and fashion share a common challenge: how to accelerate the impact of sustainable business practices in resource-intensive industries. A recent McKinsey report highlights the heavy resource demands of the fashion industry and the excessive waste associated with disposed unfashionable or worn-out garments. Making clothes typically requires using a lot of water and chemicals, emitting an average of 23 kilograms of greenhouse gases for every one kilogram of fabric produced. And, nearly three-fifths of all clothing produced ends up in incinerators or landfills within a year of being made.

15 Shades of Green is an evening event being co-curated by local social enterprise Encompass HK and SAP who are championing sustainability global goals. Encompass HK specializes in SDG consultancy services and SDG-themed events which support organizations with their sustainability, diversity and inclusion initiatives. SAP is the market leader in enterprise application software, helping companies of all sizes and industries run better.

關於活動：

時裝的十五道綠影：從環境影響到實現可持續發展目標

報名參加「時裝的十五道綠影」(15 Shades of Green)，與零售業及永續議題的思想領袖一同加入我們於時尚革命周的對話。活動匯集本地將可持續發展的概念融入生產與銷售的行業領袖，你將瞭解他們如何推動綠色時尚的變革、減少服裝生產所產生的環境污染並通過實踐實現可持續發展目標(SDGs)。

時尚革命周於4月24日前後的一星期舉行，該星期由一系列的全球性運動與活動組成，旨在擴大時尚產業鏈的透明度，包括終結勞工剝削、為勞工提供體面的工作環境、將永續概念納入生產重心等。

從食品到時尚的不同產業都共同面臨著一項挑戰：如何加速資源密集型產業的可持續發展進程。一份由管理顧問公司McKinsey & Company所發佈的報告顯示，時尚產業對資源的巨大需求及人們所丟棄的過時或破舊服裝產生了突出與嚴峻的環境問題。生產服裝通常需要消耗大量的水資源與化學物質，每製造一公斤紡織品將排放二十三公斤的溫室氣體。此外，將近六成的成衣在生產后的一年内便送往焚化爐或堆填區處理。

「時裝的十五道綠影」將於當晚由關注可持續發展議題的社會企業Encompass HK與SAP共同舉辦。Encompass HK提供顧問服務及可持續發展目標工作坊，為企業與機構的永續、多元、共融議題提供支援。SAP是企業應用程式市場中領軍人，為不同規模或產業的公司量度更有效的經營模式。
