About Rebecca Blake Thompson
As an ESG strategist, I lead teams to develop robust ESG frameworks informed by what is most material to their organizations and most impactful in our ever-changing global social, political, and environmental climate. A robust ESG strategy strengthens organizations to face oncoming challenges, regulations, and trends with more resiliency, compassion, and effectiveness. My expertises in social and human capital guide our clients’ CSR impact strategies, supplier engagement initiatives, capacity building, labor and human rights compliance, as well as DEIB governance, strategy, and implementation.In my sustainable fashion career I have worked for over 14 years developing expertises in sustainable supply chain development and operations, brand building, organizational management, and labor rights activism. I work with clients to align their vision and bring it to life through sustainable operations and actions that serve people and planet.Throughout all of these efforts, it is my greatest joy to use my background in journalism and community outreach to help organizations make meaningful connections with their most important stakeholders - driving deeper engagement and impactful action.
