The newest issue of the Products of Change magazine, the Summer 2023 Sustainability Edit is available to read in print and online now.

Marking a Las Vegas Licensing Expo special edition of the Products of Change magazine, the Summer 2023 Edit features not only the latest in industry and POC Member sustainability news and developments but an overarching focus on the US sector.

Within this issue, we take a look into the relationship the US and North American brand and licensing industry has with the sustainability conversation before zoning in on the advances being made by its leading retailers and the power of influence of the sports licensing sector.

Produced to be a continual documentation of the global industry’s journey with sustainable development, the Summer Sustainability Edit brings fresh conversations to the table as leaders of sustainability in licensing continue to drive the issue forwards.

The Summer Sustainability Edit also features the very special launch of a ‘game-changing’ new resource from Products of Change: The Industry Framework. A cross-industry collaborative project, the Framework has been devised to be your guide to creating a clear-cut pathway to sustainability for you and your business, no matter where you are on your journey so far.

The Framework has been launched as a complimentary resource for the industry, created by the industry. We cannot wait to see how the industry uses it to pioneer new ways of working across the brand licensing and consumer products sectors.

As well as all of that, we feature some exclusive analysis of the latest Kids Industries research into children and families and their relationship with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, an introduction to an agenda-setting new Transparency Workstream to be launched at Licensing Expo next week, an in-depth look at the ESG plans driving Informa Markets’ approach to trade shows, and a fascinating recap of what the Products of Change Ambassadors brought to the table when they took part in the POC x Women in Food Industry Management Virtual Sustainability Summit last month.

Copies of the Products of Change Summer 2023 Sustainability Edit will be available to pick up from the Products of Change booth C142 at Licensing Expo next week. The digital issue can be read online now.
