Statements from Supporting Partners

Thomas Saurén, Sustainability and Content Director at Rights & Brands., stated:

“At Rights & Brands, our mission is to promote art, literature, and design brands that inspire a global audience with stories and a vision for a better world. A better world requires responsible stewardship, and as an agency, we see it as our responsibility to pioneer sustainability in licensing,”

“We’ve been supporting the POC conference for the past three years. Our work in both licensing and with Digital Product Passports makes the POC conference a natural event and forum for us to attend,” commented Jonathan Baker, CCO at Fabacus.

“The conference is always a fantastic way to connect with the industry, share ideas, and hear from a broad range of speakers from different brands, retailers, and environmental organisations. Since the last conference, we have continued to tell positive sustainability stories through our licensing programme with B Corps and conscious apparel collections,” added Louisa Skevington, Licensing Manager at the Natural History Museum.

“RDP is supporting the POC Conference because it brings together the people who can turn sustainability from a promise into practical change. The best progress happens when brands, suppliers, and creative partners are willing to share what is working, what is difficult, and where the gaps still are,” noted Wendy Mather, CEO at RDP Creative.

“POC brings together people from across the consumer products, retail, and licensing communities around a shared ambition: to make meaningful change through openness, learning, and collaboration,” said Chris Shaw, Head of Safety and Sustainability at UK Greetings.

“Licensing supply chains are complicated, and Worldly and POC are working to introduce a standardised framework to report on supply chain impacts like carbon emissions, stay compliant, and improve performance,” highlighted Drew Hillman, Senior Manager of Partnerships at Worldly.
