Hello, I’m Dorothee Sarah Spehar, the initiator of DS AGENCY, which I started in 2017. Since then, it has grown into a globally recognized name in sustainable fashion and textile certification consultancy. My experience as a lead sustainability certification auditor, along with a deep understanding of textile supply chains, the fashion industry's systems, and my expertise in e-commerce, has been central to its success.
As an expert in supply chain transparency and textile certifications, I’m currently expanding my skills to include legislative knowledge, allowing me to offer an even more comprehensive perspective. I enjoy blending creativity with compliance, to create opportunities for innovative, ethical solutions. My approach is empathetic and globally conscious, always considering how our choices affect people and communities.
Central to my role is communication; I educate and speak at educational and fashion institutions globally. In 2022, I led sustainability conferences in Palestine and Cuba. My insights on sustainability have been recognized in international media. I take a holistic view of the textile supply chain, from sourcing to retail, leveraging this knowledge in my consulting work on sustainability and certification.
