Renay Wells

With 27 years of experience in fashion design, garment construction, offshore production, and sustainability, I guide fashion brands integrate truly sustainable practices into design, textile selection, and supply chain management. Guiding companies toward ethical production practices that not only substantiate their sustainability claims but also position them for long-term success in a conscientious market. My expertise is built on a foundation of hands-on industry experience and extensive academic research, enabling me to offer innovative, actionable solutions for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental and social impact. As a global consultant and cleaner production specialist, I work as a change agent within organizations, leading teams to assess and reduce their environmental footprint from product conception to end-of-life disposal. I specialize in a range of services to optimize supply chains and production processes, including: Supply Chain Environmental Management (SCEM): Conducting detailed audits and factory reviews to ensure sustainability best practices. Ethical Sourcing & Transparency: Designing programs to ensure your supply chains meet comprehensive ethical sourcing standards. Cleaner Production (CP): Providing assessments and strategies to implement low-impact manufacturing methods. Circular Economy Strategy: Creating tailored strategies for reducing waste and extending product life through redesign, reuse, repair, repurpose, and recycling. With a strong foundation in garment construction and sustainability, I help brands achieve their sustainability goals and elevate operations, ensuring they lead the way in responsible fashion.
