The fashion industry is one of the most polluting in the world. We believe in shifting budgets. When we retailers, consumers, brands and governments work together we can shift financial means from unethical to ethical employment and from a polluting to a circular economy. Helping the customer vote with his wallet accelerates the shift to a more sustainable fashion industry. https://cosh.eco/en/We make a difference with COSH by connecting supply chain data of brands to high street retail and guiding customers to more local and conscious shopping choices.
