The 2025 Products of Change Conference will be held on the 5th November, and remains the only sustainability event dedicated to the licensing industry. It is enabled by a roster of supporting companies, each playing a part in the sustainable advancement of our industry.
The 2024 Conference saw speakers and visitors from some of the biggest names in retail and licensing, such as the BBC, Penguin Random House, Paramount, Warner Bros, Mattel, Universal Music Group, Disney, and the Natural History Museum. Products of Change anticipates another unmissable display of sustainable innovation and collaboration at this year’s Conference, making it the place to be for companies across the industry looking to safeguard the future of their business.
Each year, the Products of Change Conference is supported by an exemplary line-up of companies, pledging their support and playing a part in the education and advancement of our industry on its path towards sustainability. Without its supporters, the Conference could never happen. This year’s supporters so far are Dreamtex, Difuzed, Fabacus, BBC Studios, Warner Brothers, and the Natural History Museum.
Supporting the Conference affords companies excellent visibility across POC’s extensive and active network as well as the opportunity to enable an event which brings together voices and stakeholders from its breadth and depths to work together on the singular, but undoubtedly complex, issue of sustainability, for the betterment of all.
Don’t take our word for it, hear from some of our supporters as to why it is important for them to be involved.
BBC Studios
“Products of Change has our ongoing support at BBC Studios. We believe that we can tackle the challenges ahead by working together, and this forum is a great place to do that,” said Anita Majhu, head of licensing and brands & licensing sustainability lead, BBC Studios.
Dreamtex
“Dreamtex are proud supporters of Products of Change and the POC conference. Each step a business takes towards a greener future is a step in the right direction and being part of such a pivotal initiative will aid learning along the way.
“We are excited for this years conference after such insightful topics last year. We’re keen to understand the next innovations in sustainable textiles and how we can integrate these topics into our day-to-day workings in order to support a more sustainable strategy.
“From a more personal point of view, I’m excited to learn more from the POC Young Green Leaders initiative. By implementing sustainable business practices with the younger generation at the beginning of their careers, it will only provide a more positive future for the entire industry,” commented Corinne Duckworth, commercial executive, Dreamtex.
Difuzed and Drew Pearson
“Difuzed / Drew Pearson International are committed to moving forwards on their pathway to true sustainability but this is something that cannot be achieved by one organisation and will certainly have its challenges along the way.
“We felt that POC as an organisation has the ability to bring together the right group across the various sectors of the industry to engender real change.
“To this point, we are participating in this year’s POC conference in the belief as a group we can make a real difference. We are happy to share our journey.
“We need to embrace the fact that the world is ever-changing and there isn’t a definitive end goal as the posts will always move. However, we can all work together and evolve our collective thinking to ensure that we are doing everything possible in real time to implement change,” said Anne Bradford, commercial director, Difuzed and Drew Pearson.
