When I write the above title, I am wondering if I am going to be crucified for it. Fashion is not always known for being democratic, sustainable and available all at once. Nonetheless, fashion and retail companies are going through a ‘disruption’ – there is an increased focus from media and consumers for this industry to do better. A discussion with Xin-Yi Wong, Sustainability Manager for clothing-retail company H&M in the Southeast Asia region, makes you realise this is a company that believes and works at living those three words. This is a company determined to move ahead, to step up to challenges and to continue to improve.
