How can I get the most out of my Ellie.Connect membership?

Get visibility for your company and offering
Before taking concrete steps towards sustainability and circularity, you must define the basic principles and create visibility for your business and your offering.
Get direct feedback and find solutions to your challenges
The transition to a more sustainable, digital & collaborative textile & fashion business often involves complex challenges, requiring external input and action.
