SUPPORT LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN NEED
SOURCING by Informa is proud to partner with Delivering Good, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization connecting individuals and families in need with new products. Delivering Good partners with the fashion industry to bring essential relief to individuals and families during times of crisis, such as the California wildfires.
At our February 2025 event in Las Vegas, our team collected 30+ boxes of new clothing donated by our generous exhibitors that went to the women of La Entrada Campus.
"Your support brings hope, and shows how wonderful things can happen when people work together to help others. Organizations like yours inspire us and make our community a better place. We are grateful to have your help in our mission to become better women each day. Your generosity is deeply appreciated by everyone involved." — La Entrada Women's Campus

“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. ”
