Products of Change is using its space on the Licensing Expo show floor (O235) to showcase innovations from across our community, each bringing us a step closer to a more sustainable industry.

As requirements continue to evolve across legislation, retail expectations, and brand standards, we have a collective opportunity and responsibility to move towards a more aligned approach.

Products of Change will work alongside Worldly – home to global non-profit alliance Cascale’s Higg Index, including the Higg Facility Environmental Module, already used by tens of thousands of manufacturers, retailers, and brands globally – to help simplify and scale solutions across the industry.

Together, Worldly and POC is convening category-specific and community-wide programmes that align the licensing industry around consistent environmental and social data standards. These programmes will have participation and perspective spanning the full value chain, bringing together manufacturers, brands, retailers, and licensees to discuss data collection standardisation, benchmarking facility-level impacts, improving supplier communication, and create clear, interoperable pathways for exchanging supply chain information across product categories.
