The opportunity I recognize is for the consumer to become more educated with the 'how and who': reconnecting them to the resources and lives that have gone into the material goods they are consuming. ]]> 2020-12-10 23:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1008347777 hasiuklisamarie https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1008360897 I dream of creating shared value in the fashion industry where consumers not only benefit from material goods, but from an increased awareness of how clothing is made and who is being impacted by how we choose to spend our money. The partners in the supply chain also have increased value because they are earning living wages, and eventually bringing economic prosperity to their families and communities. By creating human connections between producers and consumers, we can hopefully create a mutually beneficial supply cycle: consumers value the goods and the lives they have impacted, and suppliers value the changes that have happened due to the consumers. ]]> 2020-12-10 23:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1008360897 hasiuklisamarie https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1008373579 By utilizing existing resources and financial capital from within an already established company, I propose the launch of educational campaigns that focus on bringing awareness to the consumers. By using spotlight campaigns that focus on manufacturing processes, environmental impacts, the societal impact of unethical labour practices, and future development plans for communities using a percentage of consumer dollars, we will show how we can impact change by the ways in which we consume goods. 
By working closely with allied partners, we will create shared value in the supply chain by benefiting communities with holistic development plans that benefit them economically and societally. ]]> 2020-12-10 23:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1008373579 micp2210 https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1011511637 2020-12-11 21:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hasiuklisamarie/sawcd20wv6xapm2k/wish/1011511637
