Recently, The PVH ANZ Sustainability Committee, made up of volunteers from each department hosted a Sustainability Matters Speaker Panel that ignited the teams passion for sustainability and empowered them with the knowledge to drive positive change, both within and beyond the workplace. Helen Duffield PVH Australia & NZ Manager, Sustainability Operations & Projects shared the exciting news that PVH ANZ has been graded as “Leading” with the Australian Packaging Convenant (APCO) and showcased several exciting initiatives from our Brands. Our panel was moderated by Dianne Taylor, GM Marketing, Comms and Digital and Executive sponsor for Sustainability PVH ANZ, and the team was joined by Ronni Kahn AO Founder and CEO, OzHarvest. Ian Hayes Head of Transformation, Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation – APCO and Retail Sustainability Strategist and Co-Founder of The Purpose Agents, Anna Forster.   Our guests shared valuable insights on local and international packaging updates, ISSB and broader ESG reporting, the state of soft plastics recycling in Australia, and sustainability trends in the fashion industry. An inspiring call-to-action emerged: combatting food waste, a major source of methane gas emissions. Thank you to our speakers, moderators, and all who collaborated to make this a reality. Together, we are making a difference. #PowerOfPVH #WeArePVH #CorporateResponsibility #Sustainability    

The Purpose Agents are excited to once again launch the Sustainability Spotlight in partnership with Power Retail, our annual publication highlighting standout sustainability initiatives in Australian retail. This year, we are featuring Modibodi, Michael Hill, Country Road Group, Adorn Cosmetics, Lenovo, Princess Polly, and Officeworks, covering topics like Reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities, Circularity, Driving Systematic Change, Stewardship, Diversity & Inclusion, Ethical Sourcing & Transparency, and Waste Reduction. Also included, a piece from me on why finally tackling value chain emissions (scope 3 emissions) is critically important to manage ever-growing sourcing, regulatory and financial risk to the business and how collaboration and engagement with supply chain partners is key to achieving this. To share some examples of how this can work we have also included some insights on how service providers Sendle, Better Packaging Co. and RCYCL can support in reducing value chain emissions and help retailers on their journey to Net Zero. Congratulations from The Purpose Agents to all those featured! We can't wait to share more inspiring stories in the future!
