Vivienne Howell

FOUNDER & CEO / MINDFUL SOURCING

Viv’s ethical sourcing journey began when national retailer Target Australia offered Viv a new position as Team Leader of Ethical Sourcing and Vendor Development.

While monitoring the ethical performance of Target's source factories, Viv pondered how many people across the world were doing the same task as her; monitoring the same factories’ ethical performance. Looking at the big picture she also thought about the waste of valuable ethical sourcing resources, and all those hours of duplicated effort. She couldn’t help but wonder how much progress could be achieved if these hours, were re-directed to a greater value adding exercise like identifying factories further down the supply chain of each brand.
