  • Wie das geht, zeigt die Neonyt-Community

Das staatliche Textilsiegel „Grüner Knopf“ vom Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung, der deutsche Fair Fashion-Pionier Hessnatur und die Oeko-Tex Association, Partner für Zertifizierungssysteme, sind „Presenting Partner“ des digitalen Community-Formats „Neonyt on Air“. Vom 18. bis 22. Januar 2021 diskutieren diese und zahlreiche weitere Speaker der nachhaltigen Modeszene über eine transparente textile Wertschöpfungskette und alles, was dazu gehört: Circularity, Accountability, Green Financing, Sustainable Sourcing und Blockchain Solutions.

  • Wie das geht, zeigt die Neonyt-Community

Das staatliche Textilsiegel „Grüner Knopf“ vom Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung, der deutsche Fair Fashion-Pionier Hessnatur und die Oeko-Tex Association, Partner für Zertifizierungssysteme, sind „Presenting Partner“ des digitalen Community-Formats „Neonyt on Air“. Vom 18. bis 22. Januar 2021 diskutieren diese und zahlreiche weitere Speaker der nachhaltigen Modeszene über eine transparente textile Wertschöpfungskette und alles, was dazu gehört: Circularity, Accountability, Green Financing, Sustainable Sourcing und Blockchain Solutions.

Regelmäßig bringt die Textil- und Modebranche neue, smarte Ansätze und Lösungen in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit hervor – die Corona-Krise hat das Bewusstsein dafür im vergangenen Jahr vielfach gestärkt, aber auch Lücken aufgezeigt, die es noch zu schließen gilt: von transparenten Lieferketten über solidarisches Wirtschaften bis hin zu grünen Investment- und Finanzierungsstrategien. Das alles sind Themen, die die Neonyt-Community stetig weiterentwickelt oder gänzlich neu denkt. „Neue Konzepte und progressive Entwicklungen brauchen einen Raum für Diskussion und Austausch, das richtige Publikum und einen frischen Blick von außen“, sagt Thimo Schwenzfeier, Show Director Neonyt. „Etwas, das wir immer wieder schaffen, zu vereinen – im Januar nun eben erneut digital: Während der Planungen zu „Neonyt on Air“ war zu spüren, wie wichtig Wissenstransfer für die Zukunft der Mode ist und dass wir gemeinsam dafür verantwortlich sind, diesen zu generieren.“ Allen voran der Grüne Knopf, Hessnatur und Oeko-Tex, die sich im Januar als „Presenting Partner“ der „Neonyt on Air“ neben vielen weiteren Speakern mit Branchenthemen und Industry-Insights in Interviews, Keynotes und Panel-Talks einbringen.

„Die Neonyt ist eine starke Plattform und wir freuen uns sehr, dass unsere Partnerschaft auch in digitalen Zeiten aktiv ist“, sagt Andrea Sibylle Ebinger, CEO von Hessnatur. Nach einem Welcome aus den eigenen Reihen der Neonyt wird sie sich in einer Keynote zum Auftakt der digitalen Woche am Montag, 18. Januar 2021, an die Nachhaltigkeits-Community richten: „Wir haben mit Blick auf unser aller Zukunft keine Zeit zu verlieren. Nur gemeinsam können wir jetzt dafür sorgen, dass ökologischer Umgang mit der Natur und fairer Umgang mit den Menschen nicht die Ausnahme, sondern die Regel werden. Mit der „Neonyt on Air“ bleiben wir im Austausch und treiben unser gemeinsames Anliegen für ein besseres Morgen weiter voran.“

Stichwort gemeinsam: Zusammenhalt untereinander und Solidarität miteinander nehmen einen enormen Stellenwert in der nachhaltigen Modeszene ein und die Corona-Krise hat erneut gezeigt, dass Deglobalisierung der falsche Weg ist. Nach einer ersten Schockwelle und einer Phase der Neuorientierung wurde die Krise für viele Unternehmen und Initiativen zur Chance, wirkliche Veränderungen voranzutreiben, bisheriges Denken und Wirtschaften neu auszurichten, in lokale sowie internationale Partnerschaften zu investieren und globalvernetzte Beziehungen zu intensivieren: „Die langjährige Partnerschaft von Neonyt und Oeko-Tex ist auf einer gemeinsamen Vision aufgebaut: Die Textilbranche auf ihrem Weg in eine nachhaltigere Zukunft zu unterstützen und positive Diskussionen anzustoßen“, sagt Georg Dieners, General Sekretär Oeko-Tex. „Gerade in diesen schwierigen Zeiten möchten wir die Themen Nachhaltigkeit und soziale Verantwortung noch stärker sichtbar machen und in den Fokus der Diskussion rücken. Deshalb freuen wir uns, im Januar 2021 ein Teil der „Neonyt on Air“ zu sein und unsere langjährige Zusammenarbeit fortzusetzen.“ In einem Panel-Talk „presented by“ Oeko-Tex werden sich Annika Sauerhöfer (Produktmanagerin für „Made in Green“ by Oeko- Tex), Mirjam Smend (Greenstyle) und Andreas Bothe (Head of CSR & Sustainable Management von Bay City) über Transparenz in textilen Lieferketten austauschen und eine Brücke zu den Sustainable Development Goals der United Nations schlagen. Transparenz und Accountability sind auch in der Politik wichtige Themen – genauer beim Grünen Knopf, dem Textilsiegel vom Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ). Anosha Wahidi, Referatsleiterin im BMZ, wird sich am zweiten Tag von „Neonyt on Air“ mit Max Gilgenmann, Content Director Neonyt, über die Zukunft und die Weiterentwicklung des Textilsiegels unterhalten, aber auch erklären, was den Ausschlag gab für das Ministerium, ein eigenes Zertifikat zur Corporate Social Responsibility zu konzipieren und 2019 zu launchen.

Die Neonyt-Community darf außerdem unter anderem gespannt sein auf eine Keynote der Kering Group, ein Live-Interview mit Timberland sowie ein Panel-Talk der Maleki Corporate Group zum Thema „Sustainable Fashion – the long financial thread of Sustainability“ mit Dr. Sabine Schlorke (Global Head Manufacturing der IFC World Bank Group), Christian Heller (CEO von Value Balancing Alliance e.V.) und Hans- Jürgen Walter (Global Leader Sustainable Finance bei Deloitte). Weitere Insights gibt es außerdem zu den Themenclustern Zertifizierung, Sourcing und Digitalisierung mit Speakern von Fairtrade und dem Umweltbundesamt, von Foursource, der größten B2B Sourcing-Plattform und von dem internationalen IT-Konzern IBM.

„Neonyt on Air“ findet vom 18. bis 22. Januar 2021 auf den Social Media-Kanälen der Neonyt statt. Für die Teilnahme an der „Neonyt on Air“ ist keine Registrierung erforderlich. Das vollständige Programm ist in Kürze über die Website www.neonyt.com einsehbar und auf dem Instagram- Kanal @neonyt.berlin verfügbar.

The BRIGHT brands relevant to retail are now fully integrated.

FOCUS TOPICS

  • Responsible Future
    Sustainability is part of SEEK’s DNA and has always informed how the team and community operate. Over 80 sustainable brands make up the brand portfolio, including players like Veja, Dedicated, Sandqvist and Kings of Indigo.
    The SEEK team places great value on personal contact with customers and puts a great deal of love into the details and in honest collaboration with all stakeholders.
  • Retail Experiences
    There is no other comparable brand portfolio at any other trade show. SEEK’s unique brand mix is becoming even more dynamic, reflecting retail concepts that have had international success. In the world’s most in-demand stores, such as End Clothing (London), Voo Store (Berlin) and Caliroots (Stockholm), EUR 500 designs are placed next to EUR 50 t-shirts and bought by the same customers. That’s the status quo – end consumers decide on and bring the range to life

  • #FASHIONTECH at SEEK
    Digitalisation remains one of the most important topics in the industry. For this and other reasons, formats of #FASHIONTECH will take place at SEEK. For the first time, topics relevant to SEEK will be initiated in the style of talks and masterclasses at #FASHIONTECH. SEEK is taking a fundamental look at topics such as Brand Building, Social Media and Gaming.
