Diesel’s sustainability guru to extend role across group
OTB Group has appointed of Andrea Rosso as sustainability ambassador of the group, following his success in the same role at Diesel, which he has held for five years.
During this time, he has promoted Diesel’s collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) on a circular economy project, and established partnerships in the supply chain that have led to the development of collections with an increasingly responsible and innovative approach. He has also promoted a “mindset shift” that involves the organisation, supply chain and consumers, said OTB.
Mr Rosso will work closely with OTB’s sustainability team to implement the strategy and internal training programs across all OTB brands. He will also collaborate with the research and development teams on projects focused on material and treatment innovation.
Renzo Rosso, founder of OTB Group, said: “Andrea has extensive experience in the field of sustainability, an extraordinary vision and a deep passion for this topic. His life is permeated by this philosophy, which translates into authentic and ongoing commitment. He is able to combine creativity with a strong forward-thinking orientation, and has long been our point of reference in the mission towards a better world.”
