RTNZ Philippines Dialogue at LAMINA: A Curated Lifestyle Fair

LAMINA 2025 was a pioneering platform that brought together heritage, artistry, innovation, and sustainability under one unified vision. As a circular economy showcase, it presented groundbreaking ideas and collaborations across multiple disciplines—fashion, art, design, and community development—while redefining how we experience luxury through purpose and inclusivity.

The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), as a committed partner in advancing climate leadership and sustainability in the country, was proud to support this initiative led by Race to Net Zero Philippines—a nationwide movement empowering businesses to take tangible climate action—and the Bayo Foundation, the advocacy arm of the proudly homegrown brand Bayo, which champions sustainable consumer behavior and the responsible repurposing of textile waste.
