When we look back 200 years ago to the slave trade often we feel amazed that people could accept it as normal and allow it to continue. Are we the same now? Will our descendants look back on us and wonder how we could live such extravagant lives and yet allow poverty to continue in so [...]

French Connection have a few words at the bottom of a page in the investor section of their website about Ethical Trading. It is clearly not an issue they take seriously and feel their customers are concerned with. They are not signed up with the ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative) and the Lets Clean Up Fashion [...]

I have just printed off my letter to Dorothy Perkins asking them about their commitment to ethical trade and the treatment of their workers in developing countries. On their website there is no ethical policy and they are not members of ETI (the Ethical Trading Initiative) which is disappointing. In the ‘Lets Clean up Fashion’ [...]

I have written to Coast about their ethical practices, they do not have an ethical policy on their website, nor are they signed up with the Ethical Trading Initiative. In the ‘Lets Clean up Fashion 2007′ report written by Labour behind the Label they are in the category of having ‘nothing to show’. There is a [...]

It has taken me a while but I have got round to writing another letter to a fashion retailer; this time it was the turn of Boden. They are already working with the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) and have an ethical policy on their website. My letter aims to encourage them in the efforts they [...]

Just printed my letter to Adams Childrens Wear. I haven’t been able to find an Ethical Policy for them and they are not signed up with the Ethical Trading Iniative (ETI), so at the moment they seem pretty bad at protecting their workers. I’ll let you know their response of course – if I get one! [...]
