It will offer a responsible style statement to its consumers. This is for the first time a brand is launching an entire Fairtrade wardrobe of Polos, t-shirts, shirts and Chinos. We believe that fashion should not come at the expense of people or the planet. Our Fairtrade collaboration ensures that we are making a real difference in the lives of those who produce our clothing and those who will conserve the planet.”
Mr. Abhishek Jani, CEO, Fairtrade India said, “Being Human is recognized globally as a cause driven brand, driving social impact in education and healthcare. This Fairtrade certified ‘Being Conscious’ clothing collection extends their commitment to the society and the environment, delving deeper into the supply chain, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goal 12, which is Responsible Consumption and Production. Crafted with cotton from Fairtrade Certified Indian farmers, the collection empowers lives. These farmers receive a better price, fostering sustainability in agriculture, environment, and society. We are delighted to have such a strong brand championing impact through fashion, elevating the industry beyond exploitation.”
Mr. Vivek Sandhwar, COO, Being Human Clothing added “This collaboration is not just about fashions about making a positive impact on the world, working towards supporting SDGs by United Nations. By choosing the Being Human and Fairtrade collection, consumers are not just making a fashion statement; they’re supporting a movement towards ethical and sustainable practices in the fashion industry” The new line-up tells a story of sustainability, responsible sourcing, and fair labor practices. Therefore, the greater the number of clothes customers buy from the Being Human Fairtrade collection, the larger the share of the Fairtrade Premium earned by the farmer’s organization.
Fast fashion is becoming faster, and this has further increased the social and environmental footprint of fashion. Being Human recognizes its role in making sustainable fashion more mainstream. The launch of Being Conscious
Range represents a significant stride in this pursuit to drive fashion led by Purpose, a purpose to make our planet a better place as we move forward.
