Develop a sustainable strategy that actually converts
The only online course for a consistent policy on innovation, supply chain management, and marketing
Change Fashion—structurally
The only class for a consistent policy on innovation, supply chain management, and marketing
Companies with a well-designed sustainable strategy have a bright future ahead—there is no doubt about that. Sustainability is an essential part of a long-term strategy based on vision and step-by-step improvement of production. By including all your stakeholders, such as clients, employees and investors, you make sure that your newly designed strategy resonates both internally and externally—because purpose-driven brands embrace collaboration and a systems approach.
Together we need to change from a linear to a circular fashion industry. And we are here to help you step by step.
What are we going to do?
In this course, we develop a sustainable strategy in 3 steps, which we will cover in 3 modules. A proper sustainable plan of action advances your company through the newest regulations and guidelines: it future-proofs your brand, generates trust with customers, and leads to more profit—including taking care of the planet and people. Everything links back to your WHY, and once discovered, this enables you to make razor-sharp choices that matter for your business. Next, we explore the most crucial and urgent sustainable topics, also known as ESG(P) (Environment, Social, Governance, Product) topics, and where you want to make an impact. In our risk analysis, you learn to understand potential risks in your supply chain. Finally, we take a closer look at your clients and customers and how you can communicate your strategy transparently.

Professionals who did this course
As a fashion product manager/buyer for over 15 years, I have learned a lot about the need for sustainable strategies and how to develop them. I also found all the accompanying reading material, videos by best practices, and resources very useful. Rachel is a super enthusiastic person, a source of information and inspiration. That enabled me to make the newly learned information my own quite fast. The conclusion is that Rachel has turned me into a rebel, ready to implement this on the work floor and teach my team how to make a positive impact in the fashion industry together!
In my current role, I want to focus more on sustainability, make more informed decisions and communicate about this more transparently. My struggle was that I didn’t know where to start, how to implement it, and find the right arguments to really inspire my colleagues and the management. In the Sustainable Strategy masterclass, I learned about the basics of developing a sustainable strategy with the right tools, inspiration from other brands, and guidance by Rachel on how to develop this step by step. This resulted in informed decisions, internal discussions with the teams, and step-by-step improvement of our business and supply chain.
RethinkRebels gave me countless examples and tools to shape and realize the challenges and opportunities that come with the transition to a circular fashion system. As a fashion designer and consultant for over 15 years, I can now guide my clients even better regarding their sustainable missions with a clear sustainable strategy. This masterclass gives a tremendous amount of knowledge, energy, and inspiration to apply in practice. I highly recommended it to every fashion professional who believes in a circular fashion system but doesn't know yet where and how to start.
