I am passionate about cinema, writing, reading and connecting it all to sustainability. 96% do not publish a roadmap on how they plan to achieve a living wage for all workers in their supply chain. For brands that have been reviewed year-on-year since 2017, we have seen their average scores on transparency progressively increase.

The fashion industry has been the subject of numerous films and television shows, including the reality show Project Runway and the drama series Ugly Betty. Specific fashion brands have been featured in film, not only as product placement opportunities, but as bespoke items that have subsequently led to trends in fashion. Fashion for Good’s ability to stimulate collaboration between like-minded fashion brands and cutting-edge tech companies will change the future of fashion sustainability.

Transparency is crucial for connecting the dots of the problems in the fashion industry and understanding how to fix them. When the Rana Plaza building collapsed eight years ago, killing and injuring thousands of garment workers, rescuers had to dig through the rubble looking for clothing labels in order to figure out which brands were producing clothes there. It is impossible for companies to make sure human rights are safeguarded, working conditions are safe and the environment is protected without knowing where their products are being made.
More than one third of big brands (36%) have published their progress towards reducing the use of virgin plastics for packaging, but only 18% do so for textiles deriving from virgin fossil fuels, which consumers are less likely to recognise as plastic. Just 3%, are publicly disclosing the number of workers in their supply chains laid-off due to COVID-19, leaving us with an ‘incomplete picture’ of the negative socio-economic impact workers have faced throughout the pandemic. When Fashion Revolution published the first Index in 2016, only 5 out of 40 major brands disclosed their suppliers and now six years later 117 out of 250 major brands disclose their suppliers. A score of 100% would free civil society organisations from the lengthy process of ‘proving’ responsibility and chains of custody and allow them to focus on driving impact by holding the brand accountable for addressing and mitigating issues and risks.
Transparency underpins sustainability – without transparency, achieving a sustainable, accountable and fair fashion industry will be almost impossible. We understand that citizens are seeking rankings of the ethics and sustainability of major fashion brands. Please read this letter published in April 2021 and signed by 33 NGOs, including Fashion Revolution, calling for full supply chain transparency in the clothing sector. Ultimately, the aim of the Index is not just transparency in and of itself. However, without transparency, achieving a sustainable, accountable, and fair fashion industry will be impossible. Following the industry schedule where several seasons are designed simultaneously, students are educated in all aspects of the design process for an easy transition into professional careers in the fashion industry.
