About

Overview

CSG is a New York City based boutique fashion circularity advisory firm with a global reach, founded and led by industry veteran and expert Rachel Van Metre Kibbe. We lie at the nexus of sustainability, business and policy.  CSG provides practical advisory on circularity solutions built for the present, and with an eye towards the future.  Our growing team of sustainability and circularity experts provide an extension to your sustainability, innovation, and public affair teams’ efforts.  Our subject matter expertise spans the breadth of reverse supply chains, and we have experience with all relevant circularity touch points.

We founded, manage, and facilitate the American Circular Textiles, a multi stakeholder coalition which includes over 15 members including ThredUP, Rent The Runway, H&M, Reformation, The RealReal and more. Through these efforts, we shape bipartisan campaigns to drive policy and impact for responsible fashion and circularity in the United States.

Why we’re different

CSG’s value comes from a depth of knowledge, only gained from practical working experience. Our outside expert position working with the full spectrum of circularity efforts across our industry, brings your organization key, up to date, insider information in-house. We craft solutions that are business centric, and unique to your near term and long term goals. CSG can support the efforts of organizations who are ready to transform their businesses from linear to circular, whether they are just starting out, or far down the path. We prefer long term partnerships.
