Todd Corley: SVP, Inclusion, Sustainability and Community, Carhartt

Todd Corley is Senior Vice President for Inclusion, Sustainability and Community at Carhartt, a global premium workwear brand with a rich heritage of developing rugged products for workers. He leads the brand’s purpose-driven workstreams across the globe, with direct responsibility for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) strategies, sustainability initiatives, community partnerships and corporate giving.

His self-published book, Fitch Path, is the inspiration for the Netflix documentary, White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, which debuted at #1 on their global streaming platform. A case study for modern day DE&I efforts, the film examines his transformational role as their Chief Diversity Officer, in moving the brand from a corporate strategy of “exclusion” to “inclusion”.
