In today's fast-paced world, fashion trends may come and go, but one constant remains – the desire for ethical practices. As consumers become more informed and aware, the demand for Ethical Sourcing and Fair Trade in the Fashion industry has significantly increased. But what does this mean and why is it so important?
Ethical sourcing is the process of ensuring the products being sourced are obtained in a responsible and sustainable way, that the workers involved in making them are safe and treated fairly and that environmental and social impacts are taken into consideration during the sourcing process (source: The Guardian).
Fair Trade, on the other hand, is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency, and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers (source: Ethical Fashion Forum).
So why does it matter?
When fashion is produced ethically, it has the power to provide decent working conditions, fair wages, and empowerment for communities. It's about making a positive impact on the people involved in the production process, and it's an important step towards environmental sustainability.
