Episode 65: A sustainable future requires circularity and an 'eco-attitude' with Phoebe Yu - Founder & CEO, ettitude

The Social Impact Startup

Phoebe Yu is the Founder and CEO of ettitude, a sustainable lifestyle brand made from the world’s first 100% organic bamboo lyocell fabric. Phoebe spent over 10 years helping international companies develop and source textiles and saw first hand the lack of sustainability within the industry. She knew there was room for change and decided to be an agent of it. She launched ettitude 9 years ago and is leading by example on how to build a truly circular business model.

In our conversation we discuss:

• The responsibility of brands to help educate consumers
• How it’s easier to stay true to values when when there is integrity in the DNA of the brand
• Why offsetting is not a solution
• Her thoughts on AI and how she sees it as an opportunity for more creativity
• and overall why she believes in community and collaboration over competition

Phoebe and her team at ettitude are paving the way for a more sustainable future while creating the framework to show why and how all businesses can - and should - embody an ‘eco attitude’.
