Power of One creates a forum to educate and inspire, and our strategic partnership with Products of Change enables us to provide much-needed educational sessions and workshops for our visitors to learn how they can make changes, to talk about what needs to be done to change the future, what already is being done, and how to support customers to take the right steps in becoming more sustainable.”
Helena Mansell-Stopher, founder of POC, added: “With a breadth of partners across multiple categories including brand owners, manufacturers, and retailers, POC is extremely proud to partner with Autumn Fair this year to offer a cross-category expertise on implementing better sustainability and driving positive change across business.
“With audience demand for more sustainable products and more ethical business in general greater than it has ever been, and with so many companies implementing so many fantastically forward-thinking business practices already, we’re very excited to be able to play our part in the transition to a more sustainable – and regenerative – future for businesses, people, and the planet. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand in Hall 6 H40.”
