Reverse Logistics Group (RLG) is proud to join sustainability leaders, brand innovators, and supply chain experts at the 2025 AAFA Traceability & Sustainability Conference, hosted by the American Apparel & Footwear Association on July 9–10, 2025, in Atlanta, GA.

This two-day conference is a key gathering for companies aiming to align their supply chains with sustainable business practices and responsible sourcing standards. The agenda features discussions on how to operationalize traceability, meet evolving regulatory requirements, and build more transparent and ethical global supply chains.

Why RLG Is Attending

As a leader in environmental compliance and product stewardship, RLG brings a global perspective to sustainability challenges across complex supply chains.

From supplier data collection to end-of-life product management, RLG’s solutions help brands navigate environmental compliance with confidence.
