079. Manufactured x Transformers Foundation: The Higg Data Debate – No Room For Context, Imagination, or Co-Creation
/

This week’s episode is going to be a little bit different to normal episodes. As some of you might know, in addition to hosting this podcast I also write. An article I published last week through my work with Transformers Foundation is about a topic that’s very near and dear to my heart: greenwashing and the controversy over the Higg Material Sustainability Index.  So I wanted to give the piece some airtime here as well by releasing an audio version. If you prefer to read it, check out the text version here. 

P.S. – This is going to be the last episode for a couple of weeks. I aim to be back later this summer. In the meantime, wish me luck getting my work-life balance in better shape 😊

Transformers Foundation is the unified voice representing the denim industry and its ideas for positive change. It was founded to provide a thus-far missing platform to the jeans and denim supply chain, and a central point of contact for consumers, brands, NGOs, and media who want to learn more about ethics and sustainable innovation in the industry.

Though his background is originally in agriculture and tea, his cotton journey started with a spinning facility back in the 90s on a mission to work with organic cotton farmers – something that, at the time, was unheard of. In the years since, he’s gone on to work in a number of different roles with different stakeholders across the value chain. Rajeev gives Kim an in-depth look at the steps that go into growing, harvesting, ginning, and spinning cotton, who the commercial actors are, and what their incentives might be within the Indian context.
