Positive Luxury are the leading sustainability experts for the global luxury industry. By helping businesses meet higher and higher standards for people and nature, we are transforming luxury – for the good of all. Since 2011, we’ve only worked with luxury, so have a deeper understanding of its unique ecosystems. And our small team of experts give unrivalled support and collaboration.
Our purpose is to transform the luxury industry, for the good of all. To shape a sustainable future, we work with our clients to help redefine business models and rebuild consumer trust. We do this through our proprietary Butterfly Methodology, comprised of an ESG+ assessment, risk and opportunity mapping tools, transition strategy and verification through certification, supported with communication tools and coaching.
We were born to action real change, for a world that desperately needs it, and inspired by the large blue Butterfly which now thrives following near-extinction. This story of success took expert understanding of unique driving factors, and some difficult work – made easier through collaboration. Just as each ecosystem is entirely different, our Butterfly Methodology is a collection of tools and services that can be configured to each luxury company’s bespoke challenges and needs. That’s our approach. And why we are positive by name, and nature. Today we power a collective of over 170 luxury business across the globe: we call these the Real Changemakers, continually raising the bar.
Our standards are underpinned by international frameworks and global standards. In addition to the Positive Luxury Impact Network, we work with a number of expert partners across sustainability and luxury industry sectors to help accelerate our purpose: to transform luxury for the good of all. From sustainability and technology partners to industry bodies and pioneering individuals, we believe collaboration is key to reaching higher and higher standards.
