So, who’s Tammy?

Having lived abroad for over ten years, she’s now based between Malta and Berlin. Her main background is in Sustainability in Fashion, with a focus on marketing and business – having received her Master’s degree in Berlin in 2018.

“I’ve always loved learning new things and setting out new challenges that put me somewhat out of my comfort zone. In between studies and working, in 2014 I travelled around Asia for about a year, mostly in India,” she told Lovin Malta.

“Here I picked up a lot of life lessons and beliefs that I still carry with me today. It is also when I fell in love with yoga and meditation practices, which I have integrated into the studio and our services as a way of elevating employee wellbeing and engagement,” she explained. 

“In the last few years (after my MA) I have also completed courses in design thinking and a short course in Sustainability in Business with Cambridge University,” she said.

“In general, I am a very passionate person who harbours hope in people’s power and future generations to come. I am creative at heart and feel most stimulated when working with people and communities,” she said.

Tammy is also the country coordinator for the Fashion Revolution movement in Malta, and she has also worked in London and Berlin with different sustainable brands, such as People Tree and Wool and the Gang.

What inspired Tammy to found this agency?

“I’m mostly inspired by the brilliant and exciting opportunities that are available for the private sector to capture and contribute towards creating a positive impact and essentially accelerating sustainable development,” she said.

“For me, one of the best parts about it is that with existing research and information, businesses are able to integrate sustainability into their models in a way that future-proofs them from clear threats or challenges while also thriving economically,” she explained. 

“There are so many ways to make it a win-win-win situation for business, environmental protection and social justice – it buzzes me! I want to be able to share this knowledge and insight with others in order to begin enabling positive change and impact.”

Why is this important for Malta?

“The reality is that we are living through a climate emergency. The more I work in this sector, the clearer it is to me that the faster businesses respond to this emergency, the more chances they will have for survival,” she said.

“As I mentioned, today we are living in a time of innovation, so successful solutions on how businesses can create positive impact through their endeavours, while still gaining competitive advantage, already exist and, moreover, have been proven to be very successful.”

“In general, businesses that are reactive, adaptive and open to change are more likely to prevail – they work with current times and essentially end up with more long-lasting growth. By responding to the climate emergency and acknowledging external factors, businesses are working with current realities instead of denying them, and essentially future-proofing their own models,” she said.

“Cosie is here to guide them along their journeys towards this future-proofing, showing how sustainable business models do not come at the cost of profits, on the contrary, it adds long term value to profit margins,” she promised.
