Sep 3

Company

As a textile consultant, Bowie Miles helps partners across the textile value chain collaborate for a sustainable future. Bowie provides expert consultations, strategy development, inspiring LCAs, and training on key topics such as the EU Green Deal.

Challenge

Before coming to us, Bowie, with her extensive background in the textile industry, felt a significant gap in her ability to provide comprehensive LCA services to her clients. Despite her previous experience, she recognized the need to deepen her expertise in LCA methodologies to better serve her consultancy clients. Bowie sought hands-on experience and guidance from experts to update her skills and ensure she could offer up-to-date and effective environmental assessments in her consultancy work.

Why us?

Bowie initially reached out to us through our talent pool with a clear objective: to update her LCA knowledge as a consultant. She chose our program because it offered a comprehensive package:

Our program, developed under the guidance of Dr. Gregory Norris, is widely recognized as the gold standard in the industry.
The curriculum provides a robust foundation in LCA methodologies, perfectly tailored to Bowie's needs in the textile sector.
Alongside expert guidance and project support, the training includes access to a software tool and license, crucial for conducting detailed LCAs.
Bowie was particularly drawn to the efficiency of our training, which enabled her to complete a full LCA project in just 2.5 months.

These factors collectively made our program the ideal choice for Bowie, allowing her to deepen her expertise and gain practical experience essential for her career in sustainability and LCA.

Solution

After guiding Bowie for over a year in securing an LCA project, she successfully partnered with a textile mill. Bowie first enrolled in the Leader's LCA Online course, where she remarked, "The course provided me with the language necessary for discussing the benefits of conducting an LCA within a supply chain."

Subsequently, enrolling Bowie in our hands-on training program provided her with a complete solution, offering crucial guidance, industry-specific expertise, and access to LCA software. This equipped her to deliver precise, data-driven insights to the mill, enabling them to make informed business decisions based on comprehensive environmental impact assessments.

Results

Bowie's journey was driven by a deep commitment to sustainability and the realization that precise data is essential for informed decision-making. Through our training and support, Bowie gained invaluable tools to advance her expertise and champion sustainability in the textile industry. Armed with a refined understanding of LCA, she now offers valuable insights to her clients, enhancing their environmental strategies. Bowie's satisfaction with the course underscores its effectiveness, and she enthusiastically recommends it to others seeking to make a meaningful impact through sustainability initiatives.
