Authentico® at TEXTILE EXCHANGE Annual Conference

The Authentico® team had the honor to participate to the 2024 Textile Exchange annual conference taking place October 28 – November 1 in Pasadena, California.

Textile Exchange is a global non-profit organization driving beneficial impacts on climate and nature across the fashion, textile, and apparel industry.

Being member of Textile Exchange, Schneider was given the chance to set up a booth to showcase our daily effort in sourcing, processing and trading precious fibers, with a focus on Authentico® wool and the partnership with Marzotto Group.

Debora Tricarico (Authentico® Brand Manager), Willy Gallia (Sustainability Manager) and our CEO Laura Ros had the chance to meet brands, clients, brokers, farmers and certification bodies and have engaging conversation on the sustainable future of the wool and textile industry.

Willy was invited to be a guest speaker during a very participated and successful breakout session about traceability, sharing how this is embedded in the group structure itself and how Schneider has been a pioneer in using digital traceability platform for Authentico®.

The main take-away of the conference has been the highlight of the shift from previous fatigue surrounding multi-stakeholder groups to a renewed focus on targeted, action-oriented collaborations which involve the right stakeholders, have concrete KPIs, and produce outcomes that pave the way for replication and scale.

Join us in thanking the Authentico® team for a successful participation to this important event, supporting our branding strategy.
