"I am excited to welcome Wendy as chair of Fashion for Good BV's Board. Her global perspective, her belief in business as a driver of systemic change, and her deep expertise in scaling sustainable business and cross-sector collaboration make her the right partner for Fashion for Good's next chapter." - Katrin Ley, Managing Director at Fashion for Good.

"Much of my career has been spent on the question: how do we rethink business’s role in society, create sustainable, inclusive strategies, and build collaborations to drive positive change at scale. Fashion is one of those industries where that question matters the most. Fashion for Good has spent nearly a decade building exactly that kind of pre-competitive space, bringing together brands, innovators and investors to validate and scale innovation that can benefit the whole industry, people and our planet. I look forward to working with Katrin and her team, my fellow board members, founding partner Laudes Foundation, and the wider ecosystem of partners and innovators to help drive the next phase of this exciting work." - Wendy Woods, Chair of Fashion for Good B.V. Board

Fashion for Good extends its deepest thanks to Jill Beraud for four years of leadership. Her chairmanship has represented a period of real growth for the organisation, sharpening its focus and deepening its ambition in scaling the most disruptive innovations. Jill's unwavering commitment and steady leadership have left a lasting mark on the organisation and team.

Fashion for Good was founded with a bold mission to make all fashion good. With the visionary guidance of William McDonough and the support of founding partner Laudes Foundation, Fashion for Good began the deep work of building a community, sparking collaboration, and enabling the disruptive innovation needed to steer the industry on a trajectory towards circularity.
