Now in its second year, the Women in Sustainable Luxury Recognition List celebrates the remarkable leaders, innovators, academics, and changemakers shaping the future of sustainable luxury. In a year where sustainability has had to rapidly adapt to mounting global and industry pressures, these individuals have continued to push boundaries, inspire innovation, and drive meaningful progress. They’ve done so often in less-than-perfect conditions. We honour their resilience, vision, and commitment to creating better outcomes for people, planet, and the luxury sector.
To read an honoree’s contribution, select their job title. Their contributions will be updated daily from the 4th of August 2025. To find out when a profile is released follow our LinkedIn page dedicated to Women in Sustainable Luxury.
