Sustainable or responsible business practices in the fashion industry are not a defined end point. They are a journey each brand and business takes to continually learn, do better and have less of a negative impact on our planet and our people.
Each brand can create an “eco-recipe” that best fits its values and culture while being in line with its human, material, financial and technological resources. An eco-recipe is different for everyone and speaks to the ways companies, brands and individuals practise sustainability.
