In a significant step towards global advocacy, STTI's influence reached the heart of New York in late January 2024, courtesy of one of its key members, Miran Ali. Representing STTI, Miran actively participated in two events—an enlightening Kingpin's panel discussion and a crucial meeting with New York State Senator at the New York State Assembly. The Kingpin's panel was dedicated to deliberating the vital role of collaboration in navigating the flood of sustainable legislation. During the discussion, participants emphasized the imperative need for collective efforts to ensure that the responsibility of sustainability doesn't singularly burden suppliers. STTI's presence in such dialogues underscores its commitment to fostering collaboration and shared responsibility in the pursuit of sustainable practices.
In a separate but equally significant engagement, Miran Ali, alongside Andrew Olah of the Transformers Foundation, was in a meeting with State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assembly Member Anna Kelles, at the New York State Assembly. The focus of this meeting was to engage in a dialogue surrounding the New York Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act. Miran Ali's active involvement and STTI's representation in these discussions highlight the initiative's dedication to influencing policy and promoting sustainable terms of trade on a global scale. These efforts strengthen STTI's commitment to promoting responsible purchasing practices in the fashion industry in a systemic way. |
