Pablo Isla highlighted the importance of developing strong cross-sector links and collaborations among companies, academics and scientists in order to achieve a bold change toward a circular economy

Regarding the consortium, Inditex Executive Chairman, Pablo Isla, highlighted that our communities must “develop strong cross-sector links and collaborations among companies, academics and scientists in order to achieve a bold change toward a circular economy. I cannot find a better platform than the MIT Climate and Sustainability Consortium in this sense, as they meet the ideal conditions to find global solutions that make a difference.”

Inditex will work alongside other global companies to cooperate in trying to find a solution to the climate crisis. Through leadership from MIT’s School of Engineering and in collaboration with students, faculty and researchers from across MIT, the MCSC aims to:

• Drive down costs and lower barriers to adoption of best available technology and processes.
  

• Speed retirement of carbon intensive power generating and materials-producing equipment.
  

•  Direct investment where it will be most effective.
  

• Rapidly translate best practices from one industry to the next in an effort to deploy social and technological solutions at a pace more rapid than the planet’s intensifying crises.
