Chantry Place Norwich is teaming up with fashion retailer H&M in February to host a free talk on ‘Conscientious Fashion – a Sustainable Journey Within a Modern Trading Environment’ as part of Norwich Science Festival. From 12pm to 1pm on Friday 17th February 2023, Paul McCarthy, general manager at Chantry Place, and Molly Ajeto, visual merchandiser at H&M, will be at Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form College in Norwich to discuss their journeys to a more sustainable future. A lot has been done to make Chantry Place as sustainable as possible, from reusing coffee grounds to installing solar panels, with Paul sharing the Centre’s journey so far. Molly will cover H&M’s sustainability goals and ambitions and share examples of fashion campaigns in H&M that use sustainability ‘innovation campaign’ and ‘metaverse campaign’. Paul McCarthy comments: “We all need to play our part in tackling climate change where we can, and Chantry Place is working towards being carbon neutral by 2030 across our whole operation and any new developments. Our free talk with H&M will appeal to anyone interested in sustainable fashion and who wants to know how we can all work together to do our bit. We are also playing host to a Museum of Plastics exhibition at Chantry Place during February Half Term featuring a Fantastic Plastic Litter Arcade, where families can explore the interactive exhibits, and contribute potential solutions to the plastics problem.” The Conscientious Fashion talk is free to attend, but tickets need to be booked in advance via: https://norwichsciencefestival.ticketsolve.com/shows/1173637153 Chantry Place is one of the sponsors of Norwich Science Festival.
