Environmental sustainability for the 7th Edition of the Mark Challenge

As social and environmental stresses increase and global resources come under greater pressure, the luxury industry must embrace new environmental and social standards. For this reason, leading luxury brands are incrisingly taking steps in the direction of sustainable luxury as an integral part of their own brand image.

 

Sustainable luxury offers people fulfillment of their individual desires by introducing better consumer choices  with sustainable values and practices into a luxury good or brand.

 

The goal of the 7th edition is to attract innovative business concepts in the luxury fields that encompass environmental or social impacts.

This purpose helps to ensure that the needs of today's population are met without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

It is a smart business move that is good for the planet!
