Annie Newton - Jones, Tearfund New Zealand

As a Corporate Advocacy Specialist at Tearfund New Zealand, Annie is passionate, creative and full of spirit working to create a movement of positive change in the fashion scape and supply chains. Starting her career in the fashion industry, she had her eyes wide open to the complexity of the industry and the fashion system, and a long standing interest in advocacy. She has ultimately brought these two together to create impact with the Tearfund New Zealand Ethical Fashion Guide and annual report. With the faith that LOVE ultimately conquers all, the heart of what Tearfund does is being a voice for vulnerable workers and calls for action from us as consumers, customers and humans to ask more questions, be more conscious in our purchases and purchase garments that are made to last.
