A big thank you to Philippe Berlan, CEO of EverDye , for a fascinating conversation at the #BNEFSummit — and for helping us shed light on a part of the transition that isn’t talked about enough: the decarbonization of the fashion industry. Few sectors are as creative and fast-moving yet as resource-intensive as fashion. Philippe, formerly CEO of Petit Bateau and La Redoute, shared his bold journey from leading global brands to joining a deep-tech startup reimagining the textile dyeing process, one of the most polluting steps in the supply chain because of its heat, water, and chemical use. We discussed: 👕 Why dyeing is such a critical environmental challenge. 🚀 What it takes to scale deep tech and collaborate with innovative brands. 🌍 The importance of consumer behavior change and awareness in driving a more sustainable fashion industry. 💡 And even a bonus piece of advice for CEOs and founders leading purpose-driven change. Congratulations again to Philippe and the Everdye team for being named one of our #BloombergNEF Pioneers 2025 winners 🏆 in the Decarbonization of Light Industry category — proving that innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. 🎥 Catch the full conversation: https://bloom.bg/4oajZuH Curious to hear from others working at the intersection of tech and fashion - what breakthroughs excite you most? #BNEFPioneers #SustainableFashion #ClimateTech #CleanTech #FashionInnovation #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Leadership #Innovation #Textiles
