OUR IMPACT

SOURCING at MAGIC is pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with Hey Social Good to verify and rank our exhibitors for their Sustainable and Social Good Practices. The Verified Sustainable and Medal Ranking that is awarded to each company reflects the hard work and dedication that goes toward adopting sustainable practices. As part of the vetting process, we cross check each company’s positive impacts with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including social responsibility, responsible production, ethical practices, and environmental practices—all of which speak to SOURCING at MAGIC's commitment to sustainability and the eradication of  green washing across the fashion industry. 

HOW WE DEFINE SUSTAINABILITY

We first define a company as working on sustainability if multiple of the following practices are in process or adopted:  

  • The sustainable footprint of a product and packaging by considering compostability, recyclability, reusability, etc.
  • Source goods and products sustainably and responsibly by seeking renewable resources, providing fair labor practices, and more.
  • Reduce and/or offset energy use, carbon emissions and water impacts during a company’s manufacturing, production and operations processes. 
  • Eliminate, reduce, or offset energy or gas used for distribution and/or transportation practices.
  • Sustainably manage waste generated by manufacturing, production, and office operations.  

Our sustainability ranking considers the above practices as a minimum. In addition, a company must transparently demonstrate its sustainable practices in order to meet our minimum sustainability criteria.

TRUSTED BY THE INDUSTRY

Trusted by thousands of key industry professionals.

"We've done other sourcing shows before but we wanted to try SOURCING at MAGIC because it has more of a guaranteed audience. We heard that the sustainability section was moving all the way to the front, and we knew we would have a lot better visibility. We had quite a bit of action at our booth."

GBS Trend | Verified Sustainable Exhibitor

 

 

“SOURCING at MAGIC is always unique for me, and I've been coming here a very long time. This time I found a lot of social give back opportunities, so that was great for our company since we've been looking to give back. The big push for sustainability is here and you had a lot of options so that made things easier. ”

DOMINISII | CEO | Attending Buyer

 

 

“The opportunities in the [sustainability] space is the storytelling...you get to see the humans behind these products, behind the materials, behind everything. If you give knowledge to your sustainability steps and your product in general, you're giving knowledge to your consumer, and that gives your consumer power too on a purchase. ”
