Raw materials are used to produce the final textile products that become the clothes we wear and if the goal is to make luxury more sustainable we need to get to the nitty-gritty of how the production and processing of raw materials impact the environment.

In this episode, Dr. Helen Crowley, former Head of Sustainable Sourcing and Nature Initiatives at Kering, now a partner at leading global investment firm Pollination, and M Sanjayan, Chief Executive Officer of Conservation International discuss the different materials used in the industry, their effect on the environment, and why a change in agricultural practices is key to protecting biodiversity in the future.
