PODCASTS
Podcast n°1 : Smart Creation, the podcast, episode 48 / Augustin Firino Martell, Crystalchain
Interview with Augustin Firino Martel, Fashion & Luxury Traceability and CSR Manager – Crystalchain (Traceability platform)
The data era might have its perks to operate a sustainable transition, especially in the fashion and luxury industries.
At the core of Crystalchain’s activity, information and technology are used in order to drive actions towards a more transparent system. Traceability and CSR manager of the company Augustin Firino Martell talks about how to implement blockchain for traceable and transparent solutions. Collecting information from the field to the final product, he’s helping brands and all the actors of the industry to settle a trustworthy system with reliable sources.
Criteria such as the environment, animal welfare, social criteria and supply chain are all taken into account to constitute a proof of sustainability for products, and thus certify an ethical commitment. But this system won’t be possible without the supply chain actors. That is why Augustin is encouraging cooperation and strongly aims to onboard suppliers, as changes also come when done in a collective way.
In this episode, Augustin explains how we can identify the issues we want to improve and monitor. We also speak about ESG laws and how governments are undertaking steps for this transition.
