Support independent debate and progress Innovation Forum is looking for a small number of partners to work with and push forward the sustainable cotton agenda. The conference, along with our publishing of analysis and briefings on the subject, provide the perfect platform to promote debate, innovation and action to improve ethical practices throughout the cotton supply chain.

Three key facts: 1. Promote innovation and action amongst a room filled with your peers and wider stakeholders. 2. Highlight your extensive, industry-leading work in front of industry media, peers, NGOs, suppliers and government. 3. Build relationships with key organisations to help promote action through collaboration.

Key questions you may be asking Who will be in the room? 1 Attending will be 150 senior professionals representing large corporations from corporate responsibility, sustainability and supply chain job functions. We’re also bringing together the NGOs that can help you make a real difference. We’re actively restricting the number of service providers to ensure a minimum of 80% of attendees are corporate practitioners and key NGOs to ensure the conference delivers maximum value – and maximum action. Why will this event be different from others? 2 So that all participants can feel able to speak freely, and to generate interesting debate, Innovation Forum events are run under the Chatham House rule, which means that participants are free to use the information discussed, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of a speaker, nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.

The conference has been specifically designed to cover the topics that matter to business. It will take an in-depth look at the real-world implications of improving sustainable cotton sourcing. By bringing together an intimate group of corporate practitioners and experts, the conference provides a strong platform for delegates to take away actionable insight that can be implemented from the first day back in the office.

The conference will be an annual event. Our annual report that goes alongside the conference will reflect progress and highlight areas for effective action. Speakers will be invited to report back on progress later in 2015. Why should I attend this event? 3 Innovation Forum has a clear philosophy – focused events, senior participants and candid dialogue. By bringing together highly experienced practitioners around such a focused topic, we are able to get to the core of the challenges and opportunities for companies in this space. The agenda is designed to be interactive and engaging so the issues discussed are those that matter to you and your peers.

The management briefing that complements this event has been put together as a result of extensive cross- industry research with the leading experts in the field. Written by expert contributors, the report covers in detail the current state of play in the industry as well as assessing and analysing the practical steps companies can take, and the challenges/opportunities that will result. The report is an incredibly useful tool in itself, but also works well to set the scene for discussion at the conference.
