Fashion is one of the most environmentally damaging industries. It is responsible for 20% of global wastewater, 10% of carbon emissions and uses more energy than the aviation and shipping sectors combined. Less than 1% of clothes are recycled and 53 million metric tons of discarded clothing are incinerated or go to landfills each year. The emergence of “fast fashion” has only exacerbated these harmful statistics. But a new crop of designers is emerging.
Meet local designers at CitySpace! Ganit Goldstein, a MIT-trained designer, Queen Allotey-Papoe, founder of the sustainable fashion brand Queen Adeline, and Henry Hawk, who designs entirely from secondhand, vintage, and deadstock fabric, will join us for a conversation about their approach to sustainable fashion.Premiere: $25.00 WBUR Members save $5.00 off tickets to this event.

A More Impactful Strategy for Sustainable InvestingThe effectiveness of sustainable investing has been challenged, with critics like Tariq Fancy describing it as a mere placebo. Amidst rising skepticism and stricter disclosure requirements, a deeper dive reveals that traditional methods of influencing companies, namely “voice” (shareholder engagement) and “exit” (portfolio screening), are not exhaustive. Through a comprehensive review of over 3,500 research papers, a new approach — “field building” — emerges. This tactic acknowledges the interconnected web of stakeholders around companies, termed “fields”, that profoundly influence corporate behavior. By reshaping these fields, investors can indirectly drive sustainable change in firms. Five tactics are highlighted: (1) Shifting other investors’ evaluation of issues, (2) Sharing expertise, (3) Delegitimizing certain business activities, (4) Establishing voluntary standards, and (5) Supporting regulatory changes. While promising, field-building presents challenges like profitability and political exposure. Yet, by embracing this expanded toolkit, investors can magnify their positive impact and appeal to an increasingly conscious investment clientele.
