Wendy Woods Brings Global Sustainability Experience

Woods to Support Fashion for Good's Next Phase
Wendy Woods, Chair of Fashion for Good B.V. Board, said:
"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."
Fashion for Good Thanks Jill Beraud for Four Years of Leadership
Fashion for Good also extended its thanks to Jill Beraud, who served as Chair for four years.
The organisation said Beraud's chairmanship was a period of growth that sharpened Fashion for Good's focus and strengthened its ambition to scale disruptive innovations. Her leadership and commitment have contributed to the organisation's development and left a lasting impact on its team.
Fashion for Good's Focus on Circularity
Fashion for Good was founded with the mission to “make all fashion good.” With guidance from William McDonough and support from founding partner Laudes Foundation, the organisation began building a community focused on collaboration and disruptive innovation.
Its work aims to support innovations that can help move the fashion industry towards circularity, bringing together brands, innovators, investors and other stakeholders to validate and scale solutions.
