Fashion icon Eileen Fisher weaves mindfulness and social consciousness not just into her personal life but throughout her multimillion-dollar clothing company.

"I'm the sort of tree hugger gal," Fisher joked during an interview with ABC News' Dan Harris for his podcast, "10% Happier."

The founder and chairwoman of EILEEN FISHER, INC., has been in business for over 30 years. Her collections are sold in 65 EILEEN FISHER shops across the country, as well as department stores and specialty shops in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. In 2009, the company launched the GREEN EILEEN initiative to collect donated clothes for resale or to be recycled into new garments. Last year, Fisher launched a new plan called VISION2020 to focus on using sustainable fabrics and human rights for garment workers, and she launched the Eileen Fisher Learning Lab for her employees.

"I care more about the work itself, not just the product that we create but the whole of the work, from the way people work together the way we treat each other, the way we try to create an environment where people can grow, and also the way we treat the workers and the way we care about the planet," she said.
