10 February 2025

The Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP) has announced a change in its senior leadership. After five years as Executive Director, Jenny Costelloe has stepped down from her role.

Jenny’s tenure at ETP has been marked by her strategic insights and unwavering commitment to advancing sustainability across the global tea sector.

“We are incredibly grateful for Jenny’s immense contributions to ETP and the tea industry,” said Tom Franks, Chair of the ETP Board of Directors. “Her leadership and passion have shaped much of what ETP has accomplished in recent years.”

Jenny will continue supporting ETP’s work until mid-March, focusing on helping its membership with Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD) legislation.

Martin Short, who has served as Interim Executive Director for the past seven months, has officially been appointed Executive Director. Martin brings a wealth of experience from global philanthropy, having served as CEO of The Power of Nutrition and President of the World Cocoa Foundation.

“We are thrilled to have Martin lead ETP into this next chapter. His leadership has already positioned us for a robust and stable future, and we look forward to building on this momentum under his direction.”
