About Us
Sustain Learn was co-created by Jacob and Stephanie who both, in their respective field, felt a need to provide science-backed information about the social and environmental impact of fashion. The Sustain Learn platform is a product of the merging of their talents – a collaboration between a sustainability warrior and an eLearning expert: Provide facts, case studies and hands on guidance to navigate how fashion brands and individual creatives can make great choices without compromising the planet.
