The Right Shop

Why is it important to know how your clothes are made?

​

• Fast-fashion brands are notorious for having poor labor standards and paying their employees non-living wages

• The fashion industry is estimated to be responsible for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions

• Toxic chemicals used by the fashion industry are extremely detrimental to the environment​

 

So what are ethical brands?

 

Ethical brands are based on transparency and their commitment to supporting their employees by providing good working conditions, as well as employing practices that help protect the environment. These practices include but aren't limited to:

• tracking energy consumption, water usage, and greenhouse gas emissions

• using non-toxic dyes

• using vegan, organic, and recycled materials

• not testing on animals

• disposing of materials responsibly

• paying livable-wages and providing safe working conditions 

• donating a percentage of their profits to organizations that protect people and/or the environment

​

By shopping ethically, you can help people and our planet.
