IAF explains that his term extension reflects the IAF’s strong focus on uniting apparel manufacturers globally and defending their interests.
In his opening speech at the ongoing 38th World Fashion Convention, organised by the IAF and the Sewn Products Equipment & Suppliers of the Americas (SPESA) in Philadelphia, US, Altan referred to IAF’s mission to enable and promote stronger, smarter and more sustainable supply chains.
Altan adds: “This conference won’t spend too much time describing problems – we’re focused on the solutions to make apparel supply chains smarter and more sustainable. It makes no sense speaking about sustainability without talking about the models that will require change.”
