Approximately 430 million people work in fashion and textile production; this means that one in eight workers around the world is involved in the fashion industry.
This week, we speak with Ian Bentley, the founder and CEO of Parker Clay, a fashion company that creates premium leather goods sourced from Ethiopia, with a special focus on hiring women. Ian previously served as President of Zia Group, a real estate developer, and has experience in marketing, sales, and business operations.
"The generations that are rising up think it's no longer an option to not know how things are made and how people are treated. We're here because we want to create opportunities for women to not just survive, but to thrive," says Ian. "If we're not having an impact, we don't exist. It's that simple."
