Description:

In this episode, we're going to get a glimpse into the world of supplier factories in fashion.

You'll hear from Arjen Laan, the CEO of Pactics, a sustainability-minded manufacturing company focused on building longer-term partnerships with conscious brands instead of short-term sales.

Arjen is sharing his perspectives, from a supplier side of things, on audits, certifications, and even compliance legislation. 

He's also talking about:

  • The power imbalances between brands and suppliers (particularly, big brands)
  • The imbalance of financial risk and how that leads to a lot of the poor conditions we see at factories today, and
  • The differences between working with smaller brands versus larger corporations

 

There are a lot of great insights in this episode that gave me some really important food for thought when it comes to how we can really build a better future for fashion. I hope you learn from this conversation, too!
