Going Green: The Future of Luxury

It is a challenging time for the luxury industry, with the economic downturn threatening sales, and a growing awareness of real social and environmental challenges, such as climate change, wars over resources and increasing consumer expectations of luxury brands.

This week The Luxury Channel investigates the industry's response to our changing world.

We meet Dr Jem Bendell who has been challenging the industry to place sustainability at the very heart of luxury, attend luxury industry summits in Monaco and Delhi and visit the 1.168 luxury eco fair in Paris to find out how luxury leaders are tackling issues of sustainability.

In this programme we find that the world of luxury is changing fast, and might even provide some solutions to global challenges.
