Shaniko Wool received a Global Trailblazer Award from the Oregon Consular Corps.  The Global Trailblazer Award recognizes individuals, companies, and organizations for their contributions to international trade, the Northwest’s economy, and quality of life.  This year’s theme highlights how Oregon “punches above its weight” in the sports, outdoor, and recreation sectors.  Shaniko Wool founder Jeanne Carver has partnered with Ralph Lauren to make opening ceremony uniforms for USA Olympic teams since 2014, and helped create the world’s first Responsible Wool Standard that ensures the welfare of sheep, the health of the lands they graze, and fair treatment of workers.  The Oregon Consular Corps is an organization of career and honorary consular officials who serve or have served as representatives of foreign nations and jurisdictions in Oregon and in the Pacific Northwest.  Shaniko Wool received the award at the Consular Corps’ Celebrate Trade Gala Thursday in Portland.
