Fashion Sustainability + Social Accountability Act
Are we finally going green!?! 💚🥳 Not only did Stella McCartney give us this amazing Electric Lime for Spring 2022, she also helped forge the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act brought to the New York Senate this past week!
Among many requirements, all global apparel and footwear companies (doing business in New York) with over $100 million in revenue (everyone from LVMH to Shein), would be obligated, "to map a minimum of 50% of their supply chain, starting with the farms where the raw materials originate through factories and shipping. They would then be required to disclose where in that chain they have the greatest social and environmental impact when it comes to fair wages, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water and chemical management, and make concrete plans to reduce those numbers." (@VVFriedman, New York Times)
