Following the successful roundtable in Lisbon last year, we’re pleased to invite you to the Global Standards Roundtable in Vancouver, Canada. Designed as an intimate and collaborative gathering, the roundtable brings together brands, manufacturers, certification bodies and industry stakeholders for open dialogue on key challenges and opportunities across the value chain.

Location: the beautiful Conscious Lab Vancouver

Time: 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM, followed by a light lunch

Following lunch, registered participants will have the opportunity to take part in a cultural experience: traditional cedar weaving (approximately 1 hour).

 This year’s edition, “Where Perspectives Meet”, will feature interactive discussions on:

  • GOTS 8.0 updates
  • The future direction of Global Standards and its evolving governance
  • Introduction to The Global Responsible Textile Standard (GRTS)
  • Emerging industry developments and shared challenges
  • Open stakeholder dialogue, interaction and conversation

To reflect the interests and priorities of participants, we would also greatly appreciate your input on additional topics you would like to discuss.
