He added that he is committed to harnessing this experience as Cascale amplifies its data-driven programmes, Higg Index tools and core values of collaboration and equal partnership to achieve new heights for the greatest possible impact.
Under his leadership, the initiative, which was formerly known as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, hopes to explore and develop true accountability measures alongside deeper commitments.
Browne previously served as interim CEO and chief operating officer at one of Cascale’s member brands, Under Armour. The initiative believes that given Cascale’s recent expansion into adjacent product categories, he is well-positioned to scale the type of supplier-focused initiatives that he has championed throughout his career.
Cascale added that Browne’s experience in his previous roles of forging strategic partnerships and mobilising a global network will be used by Cascale to transform apparel and the wider consumer goods sector into a “beacon of restorative and equitable business practices that benefit people and the planet.”
