Speaking Engagement: Pernod Ricard “Good Spirits” Event
Sustainabelle supported Pernod Ricard, a global leader in the wine and spirits sector, with renowned brands like Kahlua and Malibu, on their "Good Spirits” event series, to bring sustainable voices together.
Christine engaged closely with Pernod Ricard's sustainability and marketing teams to help curate the event, through assistance with expert speaker selection and relevant topics.
The full scope of Sustainabelle's involvement included conducting background research, managing preparatory calls, and moderating the events.
You can see a recap video of one of the events here.
Sustainabelle partnered with a luxury fashion house to develop a sustainable sourcing strategy for materials and processes. We equipped the team with educational tools on various standards, certifications, and Next Gen material options as well as with ready-to-use templates for supplier engagement.
We also provided support by training teams and serving as a resource for insights and questions. The objective was to empower them to make informed decisions about sustainability. Our ongoing support and guidance were highly valued by the client.
Sustainable Sourcing Strategy: Luxury Fashion Brand
Eliminating Hazardous Chemicals from Supply Chains
Sustainabelle partnered with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), to further the development of the GEF 8 Integrated Programme (IP) “Eliminating Hazardous Chemicals from Supply Chains”.
The objective of the IP is to promote transformational change in the fashion and construction sectors by replacing resource-intensive processes and materials with sustainable approaches to create and strengthen circular and transparent supply chains.
Sustainabelle conducted stakeholder mapping and engagement, along with delivering detailed reports on chemical management and circularity within the fashion and textile industry. These reports also incorporated a gender perspective to inform the IP.
Innovator Support
Sustainabelle supports Nature Coatings, a biochemicals company transforming wood waste into 100% bio-based, non-toxic and carbon-negative black pigments and dispersions. Nature Coatings's BioBlack offering can be used to replace toxic carbon black across a variety of products from fashion (screen printing, coating) to cosmetics (mascaras, eyeliners and other products), and from paints to construction materials. It provides a clean and lower carbon alternative to carbon black while remaining at price parity that is easily implemented as a drop in solution for supply chain partners.

Contributing to business development by connecting Nature Coatings with potential customers and supply chain partners.

It has been a wonderful experience to work with Jane and the Nature Coatings team as they go from strength to strength.
Christine is more than an advisor and board member at Nature Coatings. She has been willing to roll up her sleeves and work on multiple projects with us, including creating slides for investors, speaking at events on our behalf, and making valuable introductions. We are thrilled she is part of our business.
