Diana Verde Nieto on Pioneering Sustainability

Vivienne Westwood once said, “Buy less. Choose Well. Make it Last.”

Today we welcome to the show the co-founder and CEO of Positive Luxury, Diana Verde Nieto.

Diana is a native of Argentina whose passion for sustainability and shaping a better world has led her to help dozens of luxury businesses to build sustainable brands around the world.

Her infamous positive-luxury-mark, the butterfly, is the industry-leading certification that recognizes brands that operate in line with international standards and best practices while providing transparency and allowing consumers to make more conscious and informed decisions.

This episode is full of inspiring loads of food for thought as Diana delves into the meaning of sustainability and how we, as a humanity, can achieve it. She is optimistic at heart and believes this is completely doable as long as we prioritize accountability, make smart decisions about the future of the planet, and work as a team with governments and institutions.
