How sustainable is WE Fashion?

WE is a part of Logo Inter­na­ti­o­nal, a Dut­ch com­pa­ny that also owns O’Neill and Van Gils. The brand is wor­king on impro­ving for the bet­ter. It’s offe­ring some transpa­ren­cy into its ope­ra­ti­ons and has an acti­ve poli­cy that sta­tes it should only work with res­pon­si­ble sup­pliers. WE is also incre­a­sing the per­cen­ta­ges of more sustai­na­ble mate­ri­als for its clothing eve­ry year. In 2018, 47% of cot­ton was sustai­na­bly sour­ced and 34% of mate­ri­als in gene­ral were mar­ked as sustai­na­ble. With tar­gets in pla­ce to increa­se the­se per­cen­ta­ges, WE is on the right track.

The­re is a lot more to be done though. The com­pa­ny doesn’t publish sco­pe 3 emis­si­ons and has to work on its pack­a­ging. It’s still using some ani­mal mate­ri­als, like mohair, and alt­hough WE works with fac­to­ries and sup­pliers that have to have a valid inde­pen­dent audit cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on, it can more acti­ve­ly impro­ve the lives of the peo­p­le who are res­pon­si­ble for the pro­duc­ti­on of its clothing by paying a living wage.
