Worldly announces appointment of Senior VP of Growth. Worldly, the leading sustainability and supply chain intelligence platform for the consumer goods industry, today announced the appointment of Léyoh Goodall as Senior Vice President of Growth. Goodall will lead the alignment of Worldly's commercial and customer teams around a single outcome: helping businesses manage supply chain risk with verified data, at a moment when tariff pressure, tightening regulation, and multi-tier complexity are testing every sourcing decision. Businesses globally are asking for data-driven supply chain risk management, not estimates or averages. Goodall will ensure customers get consistent, coordinated support from Worldly as they move from initial visibility into deeper risk management. The appointment reflects where Worldly is headed. Businesses globally are asking for data-driven supply chain risk management, not estimates or averages. That requires multi-tier visibility, site-level data, and risk management built on verified information, with continuous improvement built in year-over-year instead of treated as a one-off exercise. Goodall will ensure customers get consistent, coordinated support from Worldly as they move from initial visibility into deeper risk management across their supply chains. "Our customers are navigating one of the hardest operating environments the consumer goods industry has seen, and they need a partner that helps them act on real data, not guesswork," said Adele Stafford, Chief Revenue Officer at Worldly. "Léyoh has spent her career on both sides of that work, helping brands set the standard and helping suppliers respond with credible, verified data. She knows what it takes to make the relationships work for everyone across the supply chain, and that's exactly the experience I want shaping how we serve customers." Fifteen years on both sides of the accountability model Goodall joins Worldly with more than 15 years of experience building commercial functions across sustainability, ESG, and supply chain data. At Social Value Portal, she built the company's commercial function, bringing new solutions to major public and private sector buyers and their supply chains. At UL EHS Sustainability (cr360), she led Account Management for a portfolio of FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 accounts, including luxury brands and retailers. She began her career at Bureau Veritas in responsible sourcing, running supplier verification and compliance programs for Disney, Walmart, and major UK retailers, the deep-tier visibility work Worldly customers now need at scale. "Businesses want to know what's actually happening at every tier of their supply chain year-round, and they want that knowledge to drive strategic business and impact decisions they can stand behind," said Goodall. "What drew me to Worldly is that it serves both sides of that relationship. Brands get verified data they can act on, and suppliers get a system that recognizes their work rather than burying them in duplicate requests. My job is to make sure every team at Worldly is organized around delivering that experience." Aligning teams around fast, data-driven decisions In her role, Goodall will focus on team alignment and operational optimization so customers can make fast, data-driven decisions. The goal is an experience that works for brands and their supply chains in a balanced way: collaborative, mutually beneficial, and focused. As customers expand from initial visibility into site-level risk management and continuous improvement, Goodall's teams will ensure that support stays consistent and coordinated at every stage. Goodall's appointment follows a year of momentum for Worldly, including welcoming 58 new brands in the past year, Bendi and GoBlu acquisitions, and industry recognition including inclusion in the 2026 Gartner(R) Market Guide for Sustainable Procurement Applications.[1]

Worldly, a supply chain intelligence platform for consumer goods, has reported significant growth in 2026. The company signed 58 new brand customers, a 45% increase year-on-year, including Pepco, The White Company, and MUJI. The platform now connects over 45,000 factories across 97 countries. Supply chain partners exchanged more than 100,000 verified assessments on the platform last year. Worldly launched several AI-powered solutions, including Worldly Axion for risk intelligence and Supplier Compliance Management. The company completed two strategic acquisitions: Bendi for supply chain traceability and GoBlu for chemicals management. Growth is driven by increasing regulatory pressures, including the EU's CSRD and CSDDD directives, alongside rising tariffs and freight costs. The company was named a representative vendor in the 2026 Gartner Market Guide for Sustainable Procurement Applications.

By bringing together Worldly's established supply chain data and intelligence infrastructure with POC's cross-industry network, this collaboration aims to reduce duplication, streamline reporting, and create a more connected ecosystem for sustainability, social compliance, and primary data collection. "Brand and licensing teams are being asked to report more, disclose more, and act faster, often across systems that weren't built to talk to each other," Drew Hillman, senior manager, partnerships at Worldly, said. "Partnering with Products of Change lets us bring credible, comparable supply chain data and intelligence to a community that's ready to use it. That's how the industry moves forward together." As requirements continue to evolve across legislation, retail expectations, and brand standards, Products Of Change Media Ltd has a collective opportunity and responsibility to move towards a more aligned approach. Together, Worldly and POC will convene category-specific and community-wide programmes that align the licensing industry around consistent environmental and social data standards. These programmes will have participation and perspective spanning the full value chain, bringing together manufacturers, brands, retailers, and licensees to discuss data collection standardisation, benchmarking facility-level impacts, improving supplier communication, and create clear, interoperable pathways for exchanging supply chain information across product categories. "This partnership reflects a shared ambition: to move our industry from fragmented approaches toward a much more aligned system with standardised measurement - one that enables the businesses of all shapes and sizes across our community to track progress, meet requirements, and accelerate their impact. POC is so proud to work together with Worldly to continue to support the industry on its sustainability transition and action real, meaningful and measurable progress at scale," commented Helena Mansell-Stopher, founder and CEO, Products of Change. Products of Change will be hosting its first webinar with Worldly on Wednesday 13 May at 16:00 BST / 11:00 EDT, to explore how greater alignment across data systems can unlock efficiencies, reduce duplication, and enable more consistent, actionable insights across supply chains. As compliance and impact reporting requirements continue to increase, businesses across the brand and licensing industry are facing growing pressure to report, disclose, and act, often across multiple platforms and frameworks. This conversation will focus on how Products Of Change Media Ltd connect the dots, bringing industry together to build a more streamlined, interoperable approach to sustainability data. * 5 May 2026 * by Kathryn Brand
