Indigenous scores 70, passing with flying colors

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 26, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Indigenous is pleased to announce that it’s earned Remake’s seal of approval, joining over 75 fashion brands who meet the company’s sustainability criteria.

Remake, a Bay Area-based non-profit, brings transparency to the world of fashion with it’s Remake Approved Brand Seal. The seal is the only customer facing sustainability seal of approval that holistically looks across key areas of impact like human rights, the climate, water, waste, traceability and transparency. It is designed with expert stakeholder input across foundations, brands and NGOs.

Remake’s seal is unique in that it moves away from asking “is this product doing no harm to the people who made it?”, and instead asks “is it actually doing good for its makers, and the future of this planet?”

Tired of greenwashing from brands and the difficulty in finding truly sustainable clothing, Remake created a rigorous tool to help consumers find companies they can feel better about buying from. Brands who are run through the tool are given a score between 1-100 with 100 (a perfect score) meaning that they’re an industry luminary, providing a high level of transparency into their supply chain for consumers and offering insight into their social and environmental practices. Indigenous received a score of 70 while most passing brands average 43.

“Indigenous is a pioneer in the sustainable fashion space, having committed to fair trade, showcasing their makers, natural materials and respect for the planet for over twenty years. We are pleased to give them Remake’s seal of approval and have our fast growing community of conscious shoppers discover a brand that matches our values.” - Ayesha Barenblat, Founder and CEO, Remake.
