EnRoute

Angela is the Founder of EnRoute, a non-profit organisation raising awareness and providing education around the environmental impact of fast fashion and the pollution caused by transportation. EnRoute initially worked locally with children in climate education. Its current mission is to help people shift away from fast fashion consumption to sustainable fashion, and change people’s mindset on transportation towards sustainable alternatives. Angela developed the EnRoute App during the pandemic to help consumers reduce their carbon footprint from daily transport and shopping activities. EnRoute builds its content with input from volunteers in 55 different countries to gather information about the status of fast fashion and transportation locally.

Angela attended the One Young World Summit in Manchester, 2022. She established long-lasting relationships with Deloitte’s corporate Delegates who have been able to offer guidance in climate solutions and scaling the work that EnRoute does.

The EnRoute App has 20,000 users who receive information on climate change, recommendations on fast fashion consumption, using transportation, and how to reduce their carbon footprint. Angela also ran online educational forums, where people could meet on a weekly basis to learn and discuss specific topics, such as the economics of how fast fashion operates. The initiative reached 70,000 people indirectly in 2022 through online and offline activities. EnRoute App users have reduced 150 tonnes of CO2 through choosing sustainable options when buying. Additionally, EnRoute is partnering with organisations that promote women in STEM to collaborate on coding for the EnRoute app.

“I attended the Summit as a Deloitte Scholar and it was a really great experience to be part of their team for that week. The connections that we established with Deloitte have gone beyond the Summit, and the team has offered me advice on climate change and scaling my organisation over the past year and a half.”
