Imagine if, the next time that you were shopping, you could find fashion labels on every garment or pair of shoes or handbag that were as in-depth as the nutrition facts that we see on our food packages.What if when we looked at a product's tag, it didn't just say where it was made and which fibers it was composed of, but shared if the makers of that garment or pair of sandals or handbag were making living wages and working in good conditions? Or if you could see the carbon footprint and ecological impact of a pair of sneakers and how that stacked up compared to other sneakers that were on the shelf?Today we are going to envision that future with Matt Stockamp, the Sustainability Lead at an ethical fashion brand you might have heard of, Nisolo. Hit play to find out how this project can help push for better transparency in fashion. FULL SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPT:https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/sustainability-facts-label LINKS MENTIONED:Sustainability Facts LabelSustainable Apparel Coalition's Higg IndexSocial Accountability International's SA8000 StandardFair Labor Association's Workplace Code of ConductBetter Work ProgramFair Trade USAB Impact AssessmentGlobal Living Wage CoalitionCradle to Cradle Product ProgramEON's Digital IDLeather Working GroupRegenerative Organic CertifiedBluesignOEKO-TEXREACHThe Lowest Wage ChallengeABLE CONNECT WITH NISOLO:WebsiteInstagram - @nisoloshoesFacebook - @NisoloShoesTwitter - @NisoloShoesPinterest CONNECT WITH ELIZABETH & CONSCIOUS STYLE:WebsiteInstagramPinterestYouTube SUBSCRIBE TO THE CONSCIOUS EDIThttps://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/edit
