A team with history.

The team at ESG Brands have been operating in relevant fields for a collective 75-years; some were managers of each other at institutional brands like Nike and Columbia Sportswear, and others connected through venture capital consulting before coming back together to tackle climate change for the industry. This company was formed as a result of an early discovery that banana fiber could enable brands to meet climate targets — but a robust supply chain was needed.

From past experience the team understood the assignment: to build a supply chain and develop a technology that enabled ESGs banana fibers to sit beside the incumbent materials of today: cotton, wool, and bio-synthetics. A significant supply chain was formed, technologies patent pending, and governments and NGOs have gotten behind the team to scale the world’s next natural fiber.
