OUR LEGACY
Topic Pioneer
We work as topic trail blazers in emerging areas of sustainable risk, such as, but not exclusive to Fibre Fragmentation and Biosynthetics, by building a compelling business case to garner industry support.
Work is underpinned by timely and science-driven groundwork to ensure inclusion within larger sustainability strategies.
Strategic Leadership
As Founder of The Microfibre Consortium, strategic leadership can be evidenced through the creation, development and leadership of a textile science-based NGO.
Strategically this has covered both the formation of company governance and a clear and measurable topic agenda (The Microfibre Consortium 2030 Roadmap).
Network Building & Facilitation
We inspire and convene the global fashion and textile industry in key emerging topics through the value of the collective.
Biosynthetics – In 2015 we formed and led the Textile Exchange Biosynthetic Working Group convening brands, NGO’s, industry associations and suppliers in accelerating the topic into both the larger industry and more specific company strategies.
Fibre Fragmentation – Under The Microfibre Consortium agenda, we developed a transparent and cross industry accountability platform with The Microfibre 2030 Commitment. This commitment has provided a transparent industry narrative on it's progress.
