Artisanal Production and the Environment - Ethical Fashion Initiative

Spinning, weaving, making, doing. Artisanal processes are labour intensive and low carbon, using natural materials. The Ethical Fashion Initiative has supported artisans in green production since 2009. Find out more at www.ethicalfashioninitiative.org

The Ethical Fashion Initiative (EFI) is a flagship programme of the International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. For the Ethical Fashion Initiative, lifestyle choices impact livelihoods. Investors, pro-poor champions and mindful consumers find value in a virtuous circle that creates not just premium products, but also stable, dignified work, and creative and resilient women, men and communities.
