The circular economy is reshaping how the textile sector approaches its environmental impact, but knowing where to start can be challenging. CircHive is working with businesses and the public sector to help decision-makers protect ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and unlock new opportunities for society and business alike.

On 23 June at 13:30 CEST, join the "BEEHive Webinar: Business & Biodiversity in the Textile Sector", the first in a series of CircHive webinars that explore topics and case studies from the BEEHive sectoral hubs.

This session will focus on how textile businesses can embed biodiversity into sourcing, standards and strategy. Speakers from Lacoste, Genesis Soil Health, LUKE, and Bodensee Stiftung will address the following topics:

  • Sustainable cotton farming in practice
  • Soil intelligence for resilient supply chains
  • Biodiversity frameworks for textile companies
