#201 - How to Measure, Manage, & Create a Sustainable Fashion Supply Chain with Mandeep Soor of bendi

Mandeep Soor is one of the co-founders of bendi, a company helping businesses to measure, manage, and communicate their impacts and become sustainability leaders.

In this episode we pick Mandeep's brain about the progression of bendi as they delve deeper into measuring and defining sustainability, the challenges and roadblocks her clients face, and her predictions for the future of fashion and technology.

You'll hear why even the statement 'sustainable fashion' is fraught with challenges, why the only truly sustainable product is a fully circular one, and why she thinks of sustainability as a spectrum rather than a goal.

Hear all about how bendi works, what she envisions for its future and the future of fashion as a whole, and why she talks about footprints and journeys in the sustainability space in this new episode in our series on The Impact of Fashion, with our partners at Dhana.
