At NMG, sustainability is not just a priority––it’s an integral part of our journey to Revolutionize Impact. This week, Ali Mize, Senior Director of ESG, Belonging, & Corporate Philanthropy, discussed our focus on advancing sustainable products and services at NYC Climate Week 2024. At ‘Spilling the Tea on Sustainability,’ a private breakfast hosted by Trane Technologies at Bergdorf Goodman’s BG Restaurant, Ali joined influential women leaders from Marriott International, PepsiCo, and non-profit Women and Climate, to discuss the transformative power of female leadership in environmental action. Later, at the ‘Conscious is the New Cool’ panel discussion at Neuehouse Madison Square, she engaged with thought leaders from the Business of Fashion, Humane Society of the U.S., and more to explore the how cultural shifts and next-gen materials can help reduce fashion’s carbon footprint. We also engaged with key brand partners and climate organizations to address opportunities and challenges in the fashion industry. Highlights include Chanel’s sustainability goals, Kiehl’s supply chain initiatives, and our RE100 membership promoting renewable energy. Through partnerships with Global Fashion Agenda, The Climate Group, and others, we’re advancing circular economy solutions and sustainable fashion education, reinforcing our commitment to driving industry-wide climate action.
