2022: Pathways to Impact
Sustainable Business & Design Conference
April 5 and 6, 2022
皇冠8868’s 16th annual 可持续商业和设计会议:影响之路 centers on four core themes that highlight the intersectionality of sustainable practices. Over the course of two intensive days, attendees will be immersed in keynotes, talks, and panel discussions providing pathways to 社会正义x社会责任, Environment x Materials, Consumption x Waste, and Design x Business. The speakers are trailblazers in numerous facets of sustainability and emphasize the 皇冠8868 community’s commitment to best practices in all its operations—including student projects, faculty 员工倡议和校园设施.
- 社会正义x社会责任 considers how our individual and collective actions can make an impact on society, 同时强调人和环境. Topics include representation within fashion and design, how designers use their work to help build community, and 对社会负责的食物采购和食物垃圾的利用.
- Environment x Materials focuses on the ethical and environmental issues surrounding our choice of materials. Speakers will engage with the ways that action and accountability in material selection can improve quality of life, with emphasis on alternatives to plastics, less harmful 布料的选择，以及保护的策略.
- Consumption x Waste emphasizes the importance of equitable and sustainable consumer practices. 相关 events will reveal how technological innovations and creative business solutions can help us become more mindful, informed shoppers—ultimately consuming better and less.
- Design X Business offers guidelines and inventive strategies for sustainable business practices, and 强调形成专业网络的重要性. Both existing initiatives and future concepts will offer ideas for how to begin working sustainably while also 为接下来可能发生的事情提供灵感.
