Sedex is an independent organization that many ethical clothing brands rely on if they manufacture in factories overseas. Brands can map their supply chains for risks and initiate Ethical Trade Audits to ensure they continue to source responsibly.
Niche brands may manufacture in-house and have complete oversight of their worker’s welfare. Others, like Eleven Six, collaborate with ethical co-operatives to employ artisans in poor, isolated communities. Scroll down to explore and support these great ethical clothing brands.
