This week we’re meeting with Christine Goulay, she is global director at Pangaia. Working both on direct to consumer and B2B markets, the company is mainly focused on technologies and innovation.They design products made of bio-sourced and organic materials that can also be biodegradable. As research is at the core of their process, they take advantage of those material improvements to work hand in hand with other companies and share a common knowledge base in the industry. From the development of bio fibers using regenerative agriculture, to dies and treatments, they build key solutions to suppliers and brands to adapt more efficiently.

Christine has worked for a while at Kering sustainability department and she then directed her career on material science technology. She has aligned Pangaia’s vision into a more shared and realistic way of approaching responsibility within the fashion industry.

Discover what guides her to act for change in this episode.
