Chip Bergh knows that, for most items in your closet, when an item comes to the end of its usable life, there is another need for the product out there. As CEO and President of Levi Strauss & Co., Bergh is working on educating both consumers and suppliers in the opportunities to reduce their environmental impact. As part of this initiative, the company has a program that recycles old jeans into insulation.

Prior to his current position, Bergh was Group President, Global Male Grooming, for The Procter & Gamble Company. Bergh previously served on the Board of Directors for VF Corporation and on the Economic Development Board, Singapore.
