Who are Positive Luxury?
Established by Diana Verde Nieto and Karen Hanton in 2011, Positive Luxury’s origins stem from a “chance meeting of Sir David Attenborough and Diana, his inspiring story of the Large Blue Butterfly – which died out in the British Isles in 1979 – and the dedication of the scientist who successfully reintroduced it by unraveling the intricate web of interdependencies necessary for its survival.” (positiveluxury.com/about-us/)
Positive Luxury helps companies evolve and grow into a new climate economy, keeping them ahead of shifts in society and legislation.
