European Jeans Industry Environmental Summit Kingpins Changed Its Name To Non-Profit Organization

This year, the European jeans industry environmental summit Kingpins Transformers officially changed its name to Transformers Foundation (officially entered into force in January 1, 2020), and has gradually become a non-profit environmental protection organization.

Kingpins Transformers has been organized by the organizers of the Kingpins cowboy show (Kingpins Show). Since its launch in 2014, it has held a number of denim environmental summit events in Amsterdam and New York, and gathered a lot of cowboy clothing industry to discuss environmental protection solutions. In addition, Kingpins Transformers also specially hosted an environmental education lecture for "fashionable Kingpins" students -- "Kingpins Transformers: Ed".

Today, as a non-profit organization, Transformers Foundation will focus more on "promoting the transformation of all aspects of the jeans supply chain, including undertaking social responsibilities, adopting sustainable cotton and implementing responsible management of chemicals, and enhancing consumer awareness of environmental protection" as well as organizing Industry Summit and expert student lectures as always. The tasks of Transformers Foundation include:

Let consumers know the best environment-friendly denim products

Let consumers know the difference between real sustainable cowboy products and green-washed (floating green) products.

Let brands and retailers embrace high-quality environmentally friendly denim products with high added value.

Communicate the industry's views, including the current challenges, and propose solutions.

At present, Transformers Foundation invites the supply chain leader of the industry to serve as the founding member of the foundation and jointly plan the activities plan for 2020 and 2021.

Andrew Olah, founder of Transformers Foundation, said: "the jeans industry is full of vitality and is closely related to each other. Every practitioner knows the importance of sustainability, and has been working hard to invest or contribute to effective environmental protection solutions for jeans. The sales volume of the jeans manufacturing industry is US $70 billion, so we can achieve great changes as long as we cooperate with each other.
