Philipp Meister, Global Fashion and Chemicals Lead at Quantis, speaks with Luca Mosca leading F+SG at Quantis Italy team about why the future of sustainable fashion depends on stronger, smarter supply chain collaboration. Drawing on his work with Italian brands, Luca explains how real change begins with shared data, joint investment and a clear focus on reducing Scope 3 emissions — where most of the industry’s impact lies. As supply chains become the engine for decarbonization and innovation, pre-competitive partnerships are emerging as a practical path forward. But collaboration isn’t just about emissions; it’s also about protecting what makes the industry unique. In Italy, where small manufacturers and artisans are deeply embedded in the fashion ecosystem, climate risks are already disrupting production. From flooding to drought, the effects are tangible — and so is the urgency to act. For Luca, building resilience isn’t just about managing risk; it’s about preserving the legacy and value of an industry rooted in craft, quality and place.
