Norrøna is driven to innovation through sustainable development, creating a perfect collaboration opportunity with Fashion for Good. “This global initiative to jointly transform textiles into a less intrusive industry through a non-profit partnership with other leading corporate partners was a perfect fit for us”, says director of innovation and sustainability at Norrøna, Brad Boren.
Norrøna is committed to helping new innovative and sustainable start-ups and to create a positive change that will benefit both consumers and our environment. As Norrøna does 95% of development in-house, it makes perfect sense to help provide feedback and guidance to those innovative start-ups.
“With Norrøna as an affiliate partner in our portfolio, we gain a solution driven and agile partner who has demonstrated deep committed to implementing sustainable innovations. Moreover, their in-house development approach and experience in responsible production is of great value for Fashion for Good and our ecosystem,” says Katrin Ley, Managing Director of Fashion for Good.
