As Founder and CEO of Positive Luxury, I currently work with brands such as MCM, Dior, IWC, Tom Ford Beauty, La Perla, etc I have trained with Former Vice President Al Gore at The Alliance of Climate Protection, been recognised as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and studied at Harvard.

I have founded two companies now, both dedicated to helping businesses on their sustainability journey. Working in the luxury, fashion and beauty sectors, the path has not been straight or smooth, but it has been, and still is, incredibly rewarding. Why? Because governments cannot transform the status quo alone, whole industries need to shift, (and fast), and this has been and continues to be, my focus. I have dedicated the last 25 years to sustainability. Tell us a bit about your experience prior to launching Positive Luxury? Diana is also an honorary Professor at The Caledonian University. Diana is a pioneer in sustainability and a globally recognised figure in the field, having been trained by Al Gore at the Alliance of Climate Protection and subsequently being honoured by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader in 2011, also serving as a board member for the World Economic Forum Young Global Leader community.

As part of our upcoming International Women’s Day event, we had the pleasure of getting to know one our guest speakers Diana Verde Nieto, Co-founder of Positive Luxury– a company that helps brands adapt to the new sustainability economy.
