Products Of Change anticipates another unmissable display of sustainable innovation and collaboration at this year’s gathering, previously known as the Sustainability In Licensing Conference., following the record-breaking attendance in 2024, along with a dynamic and diverse line-up of expert industry speakers.

Greetings industry names including Danilo, The Eco-friendly Card Company, Carousel Worldwide, and UK Greetings, were in attendance with some of the biggest names in retail and licensing such as the BBC, Penguin Random House, Paramount, Warner Bros, Mattel, Universal Music Group, Disney and the Natural History Museum.

Danilo licensing director Dan Grant commented: “It has been such an informative day with a lot to take away and digest. We’re already underway on our sustainability pathway, but it has been so encouraging to have the reassurance that we are going in the right direction.

The 2025 POC Conference will feature a stellar line-up of speakers, the POC Sustainability Awards, and ample opportunities for networking among industry peers.

As 2025 marks a pivotal year for many sustainability targets, and a halfway point to the EU Sustainable Development Goals 2030, this year’s conference will focus on tools for sustainable business, partnerships and collaborations, material innovations, circular design, legislative updates and a showcase of the very best practice and accomplishments towards sustainable change.

“This is the year of opportunity. The systems and data are available, and the knowledge on why we need to change is embedded within industry,” commented Helena Mansell-Stopher, founder and CEO at Products of Change. “We now need to collaborate and share with one another to build the infrastructure of what a sustainable industry can and will look like.

“The POC conference this year will focus heavily on showcasing the business case and wins already being achieved across the market, with material, systems and retail innovations, as we move to meet all our 2030 climate goals.”

The POC Sustainability Awards will be a held for its third year, celebrating the outstanding achievements being made to craft impactful and long-lasting sustainable change in the brand and licensing industry.

And Sue Morrish, co-owner of The Eco-friendly Card Company, was full of praise after last year’s event: “This has been absolutely worth the trip up from Devon. It’s been so inspirational to hear how different businesses and organisations are collaborating for the greater good and to be talked through the legislation that is looming on the horizon that will affect us all.
