The Role of Ethical Labor in a Sustainable Supply Chain

The Role of Ethical Labor in a Sustainable Supply Chain

For many years, the word "sustainability" in fashion was primarily associated with a brand's environmental footprint. Was the fabric organic? Was the packaging recyclable? But as consumers and brand owners have become more aware, the conversation has evolved. We've realized that a brand can't be truly sustainable unless it also takes responsibility for the people who make its products.

For UK and US clothing brands, the foundation of a resilient and reputable business is an ethical supply chain. It’s a supply chain where every person is treated with dignity and paid a fair wage. It's where the focus shifts from a race to the bottom to a commitment to long-term partnerships and shared prosperity.
