The exclusive content program, running through the three-day event, is designed to inspire, educate, and challenge visitors.

Suzanne Ellingham, Event Director of Source Fashion says, 'This season's content agenda is built around a theme that feels more relevant than ever: Thriving in a Volatile World. Responsible sourcing, Sustainability, supply chain management, will always be core to what we do. We have been talking about these need to drive change, but let's recognise that for many businesses, these priorities are secondary when just staying afloat is a challenge. Over the past eight years, we've seen Brexit, a global pandemic, supply chain collapses, geopolitical unrest, and soaring commodity prices. We live in an uncertain time and lets face it, volatility is now business as usual. So, we're taking a fresh, more pragmatic approach and exploring how businesses can not only navigate this environment but succeed within it. From sessions on geopolitical risk and commodity pricing to conversations about building risk-resilient supply chains, we're setting a new standard for professional, forward-looking content that reflects the real concerns of our audience, and whilst we don't have a crystal ball, we are going to be joined by people who will share their experiences on how they manage without one.'
On Tuesday 8th July the content programme opens with the panel 'Beyond Transparency – Building a Culture of Accountability in Fashion.' Industry leaders will examine how the sector can move from performative transparency to genuine, embedded responsibility. Featuring Jane Blacklock, Head of ESG at Passenger the discussion will delve into practical strategies for integrating accountability across every layer of a business. Attendees will gain insights into how progressive brands are shifting from box-ticking exercises to fostering cultures where sustainability and ethical practices are non-negotiable drivers of long-term success.
In a climate where volatility has become business as usual, 'Volatility is Nothing New – But Are the Rules Changing?' delivered by Bill McRaith, Executive Adviser at Future-Proof Fashion, Tuesday 8th July at 1.30pm, will explore the shifting dynamics shaping the fashion and retail industries. From relentless cost pressures and supply chain instability to technological disruption and mounting regulatory challenges, McRaith will break down what has truly changed over the past 12 months. Backed by data and real-world insight, the session will uncover emerging patterns, offering practical guidance on how businesses can build resilience and adapt strategies to not only survive but thrive in a constantly evolving landscape.
In the fireside chat on Wednesday 9th July at 2pm, 'Leading and Collaborating Through Geopolitical and Economic Upheaval' Hash Ladha, former CEO of Jigsaw, will share his insights on navigating leadership in an era defined by uncertainty. As global instability, inflation, and supply chain disruptions challenge traditional ways of working, this session will examine how strong leadership, internal alignment, and strategic collaboration can become critical tools for resilience.
Launched last season, Source Debates stage facilitates conversations on the industry's most pressing and provocative topics, inviting industry experts, brands, and attendees to engage in open dialogue together, challenging the status quo and exploring actionable solutions in an interactive forum.

UK trade body proposes to extend anti-subsidy duties on Indian PET imports for five more years
The UK's Trade Remedies Authority has published its initial findings that a countervailing or anti subsidy measure on the imports of polyethylene terephthalate from India be maintained for a further five years. read more Britain's Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has recommended continuing anti-subsidy duties on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) imports from India for another five years, citing risks of renewed subsidisation and harm to the domestic industry. The TRA's proposal, published this week in a 'Statement of Essential Facts', stems from a review launched in July 2023. It concluded that removing the countervailing measure would likely lead to a resurgence of subsidised imports and renewed injury to UK manufacturers. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The authority also found that prolonging the duty aligns with the UK's broader economic interests. Countervailing measures are one of three trade tools the UK uses to protect domestic industries, alongside anti-dumping and safeguard actions. These duties target goods that benefit from foreign government subsidies and are found to be damaging to local producers. Countervailing or counteracting measures address imported goods that are being subsidised by foreign governments. The TRA found that while Indian imports of PET during the investigation period were low at just 24 tonnes in 2023, the subsidy programmes identified in an original European Union (EU) measure still exist and are likely to continue. 'The investigation also concluded that UK industry remains vulnerable to injury, with falling sales, reduced production capacity, and evidence of underutilisation among domestic producers,' the TRA said. 'The intended recommendation is to maintain existing countervailing duty rates, ranging from 0 per cent to 13.8 per cent, until August 2029,' it added. Interested parties now have until June 13 to comment on the Statement of Essential Facts' and responses will be considered before TRA makes its final recommendation to the UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade, Jonathan Reynolds. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD TRA, as an independent trade body, investigates whether new remedy measures are needed to counter unfair import practices and unforeseen surges of imports from around the world. Trade remedy investigations were carried out by the European Commission on the UK's behalf until Brexit. EU trade remedy measures of interest to UK producers were carried across into UK law when the UK left the EU in 2019, and the TRA is currently reviewing each one to assess whether it is suitable for UK needs. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) imported from India is a type of plastic commonly used in food and beverage packaging, including bottles and containers. With inputs from agencies

UK trade body urges continuation of duties on Indian PET plastic imports
The UK's Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) has published its initial findings that a countervailing or anti-subsidy measure on the imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from India be maintained for a further five years. The proposal, published in a Statement of Essential Facts' this week, follows a review initiated in July last year which concluded that subsidised imports of PET are likely to recur if the measure was no longer applied and that injury to UK industry would also be likely to recur. The TRA also found that maintaining the measure is in the economic interest of the UK, a statement notes. Countervailing or anti-subsidy measures are the UK's one of three trade policy tools to counter imports which are causing or threatening injury to domestic industry, the other two being anti-dumping and safeguard measures.
