The Ethical Buy: A Panel Discussion on the Benefits of Ethical Procurement

Join us for The Ethical Buy, a panel discussion on the benefits of ethical procurement, presented as part of the Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2026 webinar series. Featuring accredited businesses Assembled Threads, ABMT Apparel and Shiny Embroidery, this session explores what goes into producing ethically made clothing. From brief to finished garment, we will look at how people are involved in each process and how to avoid risk within supply chains. You will also get practical guidance on switching to an accredited supplier, including minimum order quantities, lead times and costings. If you are a procurement professional, sustainability officer, or manager responsible for uniform or workwear purchasing, this session offers a clear, practical path to more ethical buying decisions. This session will include an audience Q&A. - About Ethical Clothing Australia Week 2026 Ethical Clothing Australia Week recognises the people and businesses that make textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) products in Australia.
