Good On You - Conscious Fashion Discovery
on
Are you afraid that becoming a conscious shopper might restrict your high-fashion options? Don’t sweat it. Good On You will have you doing good, looking good, and feeling good all at once.
Good On You is the top source of fashion brand ratings for clothing companies, based on their ethical values, standards, and sustainability efforts. This company’s ethical brand ratings are done for their sole purpose of encouraging consumers to “wear the change they want to see.”
Challenging the fashion industry
Good On You was born out of the belief that the global fashion industry was contributing too much pollution and waste to the planet, and abusing human rights. A group of campaigners, fashion professionals, scientists, writers, and developers joined together to challenge the fashion industry and encourage a sustainable and fair world using their online platform and company app.
Today, Good On You rates some of your favourite brands, like American Apparel, French Connection, Misguided, Vans, Old Navy and H&M, while also highlighting conscious brands that deliver high fashion and do good. Good On You also profiles profound fashion icons, entrepreneurs, and startups to inspire people to jump on the good train and support clothing companies that do right—by all.
What does Good On You’s rating system look like?
Good On You’s ethical brand rating system was built to keep brands accountable to transparency within the fashion industry. Brand ratings inform consumers what it took for their favourite piece of clothing to reach them. Intensive research is conducted to determine what level of “good” a company is, which is broken into three categories:
- PEOPLE—whether child labour or forced labour was used to create the garment; worker safety; living wages; suppler process.
- PLANET—whether the resources used to create the garment are contributing to planet pollution; disposal; carbon emissions, energy use, water use and chemical use.
- AMINALS—whether animal fur, hair, or skin was used to create the garment.
The worst Good On You rating (We Avoid) encourages informed shoppers to avoid the brand under investigation, while the best rating (Great) encourages shoppers to support the brand.
Emma Watson, British actor, is an ethical fashion pioneer who solely wears ethical and environmentally-friendly clothing, even on the red carpet.
“Good On You is my benchmark for sustainable fashion. This means that when I’m given a platform to speak about my choice of outfit, I will have a meaningful story to tell. And it’s powerful,” she said.
Watson is a proud celebrity supporter of Good On You.
