Description
by Transformers Foundation and Cotton Diaries
Fact-checking is a key tool to help fight misinformation and for brands to become critical users of data and claims and accurately assess the interventions needed in their supply chains. This session will discuss: the role of data and fact-checking in fashion’s sustainability discourse, how numbers can be distorted, how to filter misleading versus credible claims, and how to build critical data consumption. This session is informed by our recent Transformers Foundation research paper titled Cotton: A Case Study in Misinformation, which you can download here: https://www.transformersfoundation.org/cotton-report-2021
