The Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), San Francisco, recently appointed Amina Razvi as executive director to its board of directors.
In her new role, Razvi has taken over day-to-day leadership of the SAC and has responsibility for its global operations.
“On behalf of the SAC Board, I am thrilled to announce Amina’s appointment as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s executive director. Amina’s vision, exceptional accomplishments and leadership capabilities show that she is the leader we need to elevate the SAC into the future and drive measurable impact reductions,” says Sean Cady, SAC Board Chair and global vice president for sustainability and responsibility, VF Corp. “An experienced industry professional, Amina possesses a unique combination of knowledge and vision to scale the work of the SAC and engage with members and stakeholders globally as we transform the apparel, footwear and textile industry through the development and use of the Higg Index.”
Before joining SAC in 2015, Razvi served as vice president of membership and then as interim executive director. Under her previous position, the SAC strategically expanded its global presence and impact, increasing membership from 135 to more than 250, and expanding the Higg Index customer base from about 1,800 to more than 13,000 global users, according to the organization.
“I have always believed in the vision and mission of the coalition and am honored to have the opportunity to take on this new role at the SAC,” Razvi says. “The SAC is the leading industry coalition to demonstrate how companies can collaborate on meaningful improvements to address the most urgent sustainability issues of our time. I am inspired by the commitment and progress of our members and believe their efforts through the SAC will be transformative in the years to come.” — D.S.
