Levi’s: top US appointment, China accolade
Denim brand Levi Strauss & Co has promoted Sanjeev Mohanty, senior vice-president and managing director of South Asia, Middle East and Africa, to senior vice president and managing director for the US and Canada.
Mr Mohanty has also held roles global brands including e-commerce conglomerate Global Fashion Group, the Jay Gee Group and the Benetton Group.
Separately, The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, a non-profit environmental research organisation based in Beijing, released its annual Corporate Information Transparency Index, which measures transparency and supply chain practices in China. Levi Strauss & Co was ranked number one in both the apparel industry and overall, the first time the company has topped both categories.
