Adrian Jones - Co-Founder BlockTexx - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ad...

Adrian was a seasoned retail veteran with over thirty years’ experience in major retailers in the UK and Australia. He has a deep and thorough knowledge of sourcing, supply chain and product development in the textile industry. As both an industry participant and consumer, Adrian has realised that the industry is both ready for and needs positive and real change. He observed the tension of trying to continue to grow consumption without dealing with the waste we produce, and this is where BlockTexx can make a significant contribution to the textile overconsumption issue, converting textile waste into valuable resources.

Olivia Tyler - Founder Good & Should - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ol...

Olivia Tyler is the Founder of Good & Should an organisation that exists for one simple reason: to help people and businesses do better – for themselves, for each other, and for the world they operate in.

With over 25 years in senior sustainability and risk roles – spanning finance, retail, consumer goods and advisory – Olivia’s worked with some of the country’s most complex organisations, including Westpac, Woolworths, Treasury Wine Estates, Coca-Cola, and Edge Impact.

She’s a CEW Sustainability Scholar, TED speaker, qualified marine scientist, engineer and MBA-holder, and has completed further study at Oxford, Harvard and AICD. A fierce animal advocate, she serves on several boards and advisory groups, including Animal Welfare League NSW, Pet Medical Crisis, the Lost Dogs Home and Earth Charter International.

Olivia believes sustainability isn’t a job title or a project plan – it’s a way of showing up in the world. One that’s bold, unflinching, respectfully agitates – and gets sh*t done.
