“Scaling circularity requires more than innovation in materials alone. It depends on combining technical solutions with credible measurement, strong partnerships, and the systems that enable progress at scale.” — Orsolya Janossy, Recover

Circularity sounds great in theory. Scaling it commercially is another story.

Recover, a Cascale Corporate member since 2020, is tackling this challenge head-on. By combining mechanical recycling innovation with the Higg Index, they've built a credible, data-backed approach to scaling circular cotton.

By using the Higg FEM, Higg FSLM, and Higg MSI, Recover has reduced duplicative audits, built trust with customers, and deepened collaborations — including with fellow Cascale member Primark.

Data only drives change when people can actually access and use it.

Cascale’s Member Analytics Portal (MAP) is helping Corporate members unlock actionable insights across supply chain performance, benchmarking, Scope 3 reporting, and sustainability analysis.

Built with member feedback and designed for usability, MAP makes aggregated, anonymized Higg Index data more visible, accessible, and useful across organizations.

The questions shaping the future of our industry are no longer theoretical — they’re already influencing decisions across sourcing, investment, compliance, and supply chains.

At this year’s event, we’ll explore the challenges leaders are actively navigating, including:

🔹 What happens when sustainability priorities compete with commercial pressure?
🔹 How should organizations adapt responsible purchasing practices during periods of uncertainty?
🔹 What workforce risks can leaders no longer afford to overlook?
🔹 And when organizations can’t do everything at once — what deserves investment first?

At the center of these discussions is a broader challenge: what commercial and partnership models will realistically enable brands and manufacturers to prioritize, finance, and scale solutions for decarbonization, resilient supply chains, and decent work?

This year, every session is also aligned to one of four content pathways — making it easier to build a schedule tailored to your priorities and goals.

Join us in Athens, September 15–17, at the Cascale Annual Meeting to be part of the conversation: https://cascale.pulse.ly/pmq7gm3boo

“I’m treating the consequences of a system of an industry that has refused to address these injustices.” – Dr. Harsh*ta Umesh, founder of Vaada Hope Foundation

Her words at Global Fashion Agenda’s GFS 2026 were hard to hear, and impossible to ignore. This session on fashion, climate, and women's health brought stories from the emergency room — garment workers suffering from infections, respiratory illness, and tuberculosis tied directly to conditions on the factory floor.

It was one of many moments across the event that made the same case: labor, climate, and business resilience aren't separate conversations. They're one. And the brands building for the long term are the ones treating them that way.

Cascale staff Harsh Saini, Joleen Ong, Gabriele Ballero, and Kaley Rosh*tsh and as well as Cascale members were on the ground for all three days. Read our full recap → https://cascale.org/resources/press-news/news-updates/global-fashion-summit-2026-sets-priority-on-resilience/

2030 is coming — are we ready? 🧠 This week on “Source of Good,” Dr. Delman Lee, vice chair at TAL Apparel Limited, joins Cascale’s Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff for a conversation on what it really takes to hit decarbonization targets.

Delman shares how sustainability can evolve from a compliance exercise into a company’s core purpose — and unpacks the realities behind progress on the ground: the business case for strategies like solar, why responsible purchasing practices are critical, and the possibilities AI could bring to waste reduction.

At the Komar Supplier Sustainability Forum in China, Cascale and Worldly joined industry leaders to explore how manufacturers can accelerate decarbonization efforts and strengthen sustainability performance through initiatives like MCAP and tools such as Higg FEM.

Cascale’s Nicole Lee-Kauer and Peony Tam shared insights on how suppliers can begin their decarbonization journey, better understand the value of accurate Higg FEM data, and strengthen long-term operational performance through practical sustainability action.

The conversations also reinforced the importance of aligned supplier engagement and greater clarity across the Higg Index ecosystem as organizations work toward ambitious Scope 3 and decarbonization goals.
