The clothing, footwear and textile industry is responsible for widespread exploitation and environmental damage, there is no getting around the evidence. We do not know enough about how our products are made, what is in them and what happens after they are sold to say that they are truly well made, with no harm to people and the environment.

Now more than ever, we need to step back and ask challenging questions to figure out how fashion can operate within nature's boundaries and respect the communities who work for and with our brands. Each of us has the power to shift to a fairer, healthier fashion industry for all. Ask yourself how you and your brand can be part of that story.

From one-to-one advisory to developing your brand’s approach to sustainability, here’s how I can help:

Assessing your existing social and environmental performance: identifying risks and opportunities and prioritising areas of work across your direct business operations and supply chains: material sourcing, manufacturing standards, traceability, transparency, emissions, waste, water, hazardous chemicals, inclusivity community and charity partnerships and more.

Developing sustainability strategy frameworks through a combination of benchmarking & analysis, stakeholder mapping & engagement, materiality assessments and goal setting.

Creating time-bound roadmaps for working towards and delivering on your sustainability goals including targets & KPI’s, tools & tasks, policies and training, roles and responsibilities, timings and estimated external costs.  

Providing strategic C-Suite counsel on sustainability issues facing the fashion industry and coordinating a network of technical experts to respond to strategy implementation needs.

Support to communicate your progress on the journey to sustainability with clarity and confidence, including guidance around language and storytelling.

Creating and delivering training programmes to help employees understand the rapidly evolving responsible fashion landscape and the potential for change in their day-to-day work.
