Despite the challenges retailers have faced, environmental efforts continued to be championed. One brand championing sustainable fashion and setting the bar high is The North Face.Consumer concerns about sustainable fashion have only increased during the pandemic. Recently, McKinsey &amp; Co. reported that 60% of people are going out of their way to purchase eco-friendly products and services. Pursuing recycled content, wherever a retailer can, is emerging as an expectation by consumers. The Gen-Z cohort in particular really value innovation and transparency when it comes to sustainability. To discuss this critical topic, we are joined by Kelly Cortina, VP of Global Apparel at The North Face. Throughout her career, Kelly has held leadership positions at internationally renowned sporting goods and casual luxury brands including Under Armour and Abercrombie and Fitch. Currently representing a brand known for its plausible sustainability efforts, Kelly shares insights into how The North Face pushes transparency and encourages consumer accountability. Be inspired and learn how you or your business can also make a difference.Discover more insights into the state of sustainable fashion in our 2020 Sustainability EDIT report. Download it here.

How has COVID-19 affected retailers' sustainability efforts? Ft. Kelly Cortina, VP of Global Apparel at The North Face

The biggest lesson I was reminded of talking to The North Face’s Vice President of Global Product Kelly Cortina? You have to put your oxygen mask on first before you can help others. That, and there’s true value in being vulnerable. Excited to bring you my conversation with the Connecticut native in episode 85 of Hurdle, where she gives me the lowdown on her career path — starting at Abercrombie &amp; Fitch and making her way to TNF. We talk about the difficult #hurdlemoment of relocating her family (including her two little boys) not once, but twice, within one year, and how she manages to give back to herself when she feels super alone or stressed. Plus, she talks about what it’s like to be one of the few women in a management position at TNF, and what she hopes to instill in her team as they brave this new chapter in the Mile High City.
