Today, consumers are more than eager to support brands who demonstrate commitment to reducing their environmental impact. The global tide is turning, and brands are making eco-friendly strides on scales we’ve never seen before. And that’s fantastic – but there’s more to the picture. While sustainable production is, without a doubt, incredibly important for the evolution of the industry, it seems we’ve become hyper focused on the environmental impact of retail and left another critical piece of our operations on the back-burner: ethical work. So, here’s why we should celebrate workers as much as we celebrate sustainability in ESG.
