Again this year, Fashion Revolution Week is back. Indeed from the 20th to 26th April 2020.
Fashion Revolution Week is the most important campaign of the Fashion Revolution global movement.
It takes place in April because it is the anniversary of the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh. On April 24th of 2013, an eight-storey building collapsed in Dhaka. There were located five different textile factories of international brands. The collapse killed more than 1100 people and injured more than 2500.
Beside that, during this week, citizens, activist and journalists encouraged brands and manufacturers to respond with various hashtags such as #imadeyourclothes. So that they can demonstrate transparency in their supply and production chain.
The global movement #FashRev is taking action on findings and encouraging brands to take urgent and concrete steps towards greater transparency.
So, following their incentive, here you have an update on our commitments because we believe in the movement.
First of all, the process of disclosing our manufacturers and suppliers -right down to raw material level- is ongoing. As a first step, you can read our article about the new fabric we used for collection 2020. There, you can find how we track the first big step of our supply chain.
Moreover, we share information about the steps the brand is taking to be a responsible business partner to our suppliers. Indeed, you can find more information in the workshop section of our website.
Right now, our team is evaluating the process of setting and collecting environmental data. We are considering data about the amount of carbon emissions, water consumption, pollution and waste created throughout our value chain. Our hope is doing our part to improve the second most polluting industry in the world: fashion. Within other things, we dream of becoming a low waste and carbon neutral business.
Finally, we share the contact details of the brand’s Sustainability Ambassador, so there is an open line of communication with our customers and stakeholders.
