Sustainability has grown to become an industry-wide focus, but some frontrunners had low-impact fashion on their agendas even earlier.
For our latest Blue Cast podcast episode, sustainability pioneer Giusy Bettoni joined Lenzing’s Michael Kininmonth for a chat about building a more responsible fashion industry. Giusy is a consultant with Premiere Vision and an advisor to Eco-Age. She also has a long history with TENCEL™. A few decades ago, she was the Italian representative for the fiber, which at the time was owned by Michael’s then employer Courtaulds.
In 2007, Giusy founded C.L.A.S.S., which stands for Creativity, Lifestyle and Sustainable Synergies.

It also serves as a spotlight for sustainable materials.
