Listen: Ben McEachen chats with Chantelle Mayo about the personal impact of the 'Ethical Fashion Report'
Released annually by Baptist World Aid, the report assesses about 100 companies representing 400 brands.
Companies are judged across a broad range of categories, from supply chains to liveable wages and action on modern slavery. A grading between A and F is awarded for their ethical efforts and actions.
Australian companies such as Myer and RM Williams scored D ratings. The company behind surf brands Quiksilver and Billabong scored F.
At the other end, Australian designer Outland Denim was one of four companies which scored an A+ rating.
With Baptist World Aid estimating that 50 million people work in the fashion industry around the world, keeping companies accountable is a big deal.
Chantelle Mayo is Project Manager Advocacy at Baptist World Aid. She spoke with Hope Afternoons about the report’s key findings, her own personal purchasing story, and how we all can take small steps to buy better.
