Introducing the CO x Small But Perfect Hub
Community support is crucial for the small and medium-sized enterprises that are looking to transition to new circular and sustainable business models.
That’s because the status quo is a growth and profit-primacy mindset, one that doesn’t put the people and the planet first. A move away from the legacy business model requires resilience, resources and advice from those who have done it successfully or are on the journey.
Connect with such change-makers on the Small But Perfect Hub on CO by joining the Small But Perfect Circle on CO.
Who will you meet?
The hub is open to join for small and medium-sized businesses and fashion professionals across the globe.
Share your experiences with and learn from designers and brands, material and fibre producers, retailers and marketplaces, producers and suppliers, service providers such as rental and repair companies, fashion tech startups, material innovation labs, fashion media and communication professionals along with textile recycling and waste management companies.
What will you learn?
Members of the hub will access a library of tools and resources and workshops to level up circular and sustainable business models.
Join the hub to receive email updates for new resource additions and event updates.
