Show Notes

Marsha Dickson is co-Founder of the Better Buying Institute. In this episode, part one of our conversation, we ask Marsha about why she started Better Buying and how she became an advocate of purchasing practices in the first place. She also shares how the sustainable fashion narrative has changed since she first started working in the industry and how Better Buying data has helped shaped that narrative. We close with what she thinks the role of Better Buying data is in buyer accountability.
