Our goal is to take the complex idea of sustainability and simplify it into clear, digestible resources and actions. In order for the industry to change we need to work together. This guide is available to public as a critical educational resource. Through this project we seek to shift sustainable practices among members as well as across the entire industry. CFDA.com P. 3 CFDA Guide to Sustainable Strategies SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE How to use this guide Your sustainability journey is uniquely your own. While this guide has been created to help you succeed, how you choose to use it is entirely up to you. We like to think of each sustainability section as one component of good design; there is no linear order to how you need to implement it. Start with the big questions about your company: Who are we? Why do we create? What do we care about? What does sustainability mean to us? The answers to these questions will determine where you will begin.

As American fashion continues its journey to a more sustainable future, transformative innovation of materials, processes and systems is about more than mindfulness, it is a change imperative. Last October, following General Assembly Week at the United Nations, a U.N. & Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlighted how global warming is accelerating and threatening the Planet Earth’s health faster than we thought. This is directly linked to CO2 emissions, as well as the impact of single use plastics to our land and oceans. Without a radical rethinking, the ocean will contain more plastic than fish by 2050. At a time when numbers and reports are so daunting, the CFDA is more optimistic than ever and sees 2019 as a year of progress – with every step counting towards substantial change. We are closer than ever to opportunities and solutions to create and consume with less impact, to employ circularity, and to ultimately end production of single use plastics. We believe in the power of people unified by shared vision, and in the power of design. We see a call to action in action led by our 500+ member community by embracing conscious design, responsible sourcing, and committing to building safer, ethical, more efficient value chains. Through the CFDA’s Educational Initiatives, we also see a generation of educators, students, and graduates applying collaboration, ingenuity and systems thinking to sustainable fashion prototyping and new models of social entrepreneurship and material innovation. Within professional development programs such as the Elaine Gold Launch Pad, expert mentors work with early emerging talent to create new business models that are scalable and embedded with principles of sustainability, technology and innovation. Through our longstanding partnership with Lexus business development program, the Fashion* Initiative inspires thought leadership, facilitates commitment to sustainable innovation, and advance positives change with the highest-impact potential. CFDA.com P. 9 CFDA Guide to Sustainable Strategies SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE A letter from CFDA cont’d Now, we are pleased to share this first edition of the CFDA Guide to Sustainable Strategies as part of CFDA’s expanded Sustainability Initiatives in 2019. With this open-access guide authored by Domenica Leibowitz, we have a single intention: to empower through education. Within this 16-topic guide, we consider impacts related to land, water, air, energy, human capital {people} and natural capital {all living things} using pillars of environmental, social, cultural, and financial/economic. Our methodology aligns to the core principles of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Thank you for joining us as we strive to come closer to the goal of sustainable fashion as a new normal. I hope you enjoy this guide created by the CFDA, with gratitude to the CFDA staff and teams, Domenica Leibowitz, and consultant Lauren Croke. As the industry and resources contained in this guide are constantly evolving, please let us know if we are missing anything or if updates are required. If you need assistance or have specific questions, please contact the CFDA. - Sara Kozlowski, January 2019 Sara Kozlowski Stephanie Soto Jackie Shihadeh [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] CFDA.com P. 10 CFDA Guide to Sustainable Strategies ABOUT The CFDA The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) is a not-for- profit trade association, founded in 1962, whose membership consists of more than 500 of America’s foremost womenswear, menswear, jewelry and accessory designers. Our mission is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. CFDA.com P. 11 CFDA Guide to Sustainable Strategies What is Sustainability? CFDA.com P. 12 CFDA Guide to Sustainable Strategies WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY? Overview Sustainability is great design. It is based on a deep understanding that all things are interconnected in this world. Sustainability provides the ability to design and produce indefinitely. This requires that the design, development, production and use of fashion products meets today’s needs, without preventing them from being met by future generations. The fashion industry is not currently sustainable. We are using up natural resources and exploiting people in ways that will deplete future generations of the resources they need, impacting future profitability and business opportunities. We have the power to change the way fashion is made and consumed by creating a sustainable industry with greater influence and increased profit. While many sustainability initiatives exist, there is no way to be 100% sustainable… yet. Failure to embrace sustainable practices neglects a key factor for long- term success in business, you could read about The Business Case for Sustainability section of this guide.

    Fairtrade Certification, Labor Standards, and Labor Rights Comparative Innovations and Persistent Challenges

    LAURA T. RAYNOLDS Professor, Department of Sociology, Director, Center for Fair & Alternative Trade, Colorado State University Email: [email protected] Fairtrade Certification, Labor Standards, and Labor Rights Comparative Innovations and Persistent Challenges ABSTRACT Fairtrade International certification is the primary social certification in the agro-food sector in- tended to promote the well-being and empowerment of farmers and workers in the Global South. Although Fairtrade’s farmer program is well studied, far less is known about its labor certification. Helping fill this gap, this article provides a systematic account of Fairtrade’s labor certification system and standards and com- pares it to four other voluntary programs addressing labor conditions in global agro-export sectors. The study explains how Fairtrade International institutionalizes its equity and empowerment goals in its labor certifica- tion system and its recently revised labor standards. Drawing on critiques of compliance-based labor stand- ards programs and proposals regarding the central features of a ‘beyond compliance’ approach, the inquiry focuses on Fairtrade’s efforts to promote inclusive governance, participatory oversight, and enabling rights. I argue that Fairtrade is making important, but incomplete, advances in each domain, pursuing a ‘worker- enabling compliance’ model based on new audit report sharing, living wage, and unionization requirements and its established Premium Program. While Fairtrade pursues more robust ‘beyond compliance’ advances than competing programs, the study finds that, like other voluntary initiatives, Fairtrade faces critical challenges in implementing its standards and realizing its empowerment goals. KEYWORDS fair trade, Fairtrade International, multi-stakeholder initiatives, certification, voluntary standards, labor rights INTRODUCTION Voluntary certification systems seeking to improve social and environmental conditions in global production have recently proliferated.

    The Nexus of Illegal Gold Mining Supply Chains Lessons from Latin America GOLD PRODUCTION Gold Is an Extremely Scarce Commodity

    The Nexus of Illegal Gold Mining Supply Chains Lessons from Latin America GOLD PRODUCTION Gold is an extremely scarce commodity. The amount of gold swimming pools,1 and almost three-quarters of all of the world’s gold deposits have already been exhausted.2 Due to increasing the world now consumes more gold than ever before, leading to the production of 3,000 tons of gold per year, twice what was produced in 1970. The diminishing supply and increasing demand, combined with criminal and armed groups’ quest for new sources of illicit revenue, has contributed to a surge in illegal extraction of gold from increasingly remote and lawless regions.3 Introduction In-depth research carried out by Verité has found that Latin American countries export reputational risks for major companies with gold in their supply chains. The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, with which Verité has been closely collaborating, recently released an in-depth report thoroughly documenting the close link between illegal gold mining and organized crime, which fuels violence, environmental damage, corruption, money Verité publications include a research report focusing on illegal gold mining in Colombia and Latin American countries, a white paper with detailed recommendations for companies and along with Canada other stakeholders to ensure that illegally mined gold does not (which is a major conduit enter into company supply chains and the vaults of central banks. for Latin American gold), constitute all top ten exporters of gold to the research carried out by Verité in Peru in 2012-2013 and in Colombia United States. in 2015, and desk research carried out across the Latin American region.

  • Apple's Dirty Gold Problem

    Apple's Dirty Gold Problem

    Apple’s Dirty Gold Problem Apple has touted its efforts to clean up the trade in conflict minerals like gold. But the company has long relied on gold suppliers linked to money laundering and other illegal activity. Apple has repeatedly used gold suppliers implicated in money laundering, human rights abuses, and sanctions evasion, according to a Tech Transparency Project (TTP) investigation, raising questions about the company’s reputation as an industry leader in responsible supply chain management. The tech giant has won praise from some activists for doing more than its corporate peers to halt the trade in so-called conflict minerals such as gold, which has funded violent conflicts and criminal groups in Africa and Latin America. But TTP found that despite its reputation, Apple has for years relied on a range of suppliers linked to the global trade in “dirty gold.” Across Africa, the gold trade is often run by paramilitary groups that profit from child labor and use the proceeds to fund civil wars. In Latin America, drug cartels use gold refineries to launder illicit proceeds. This dirty gold is sold to prominent refineries and brokers who re-process and re- brand it, allowing it to slip into the global supply chain. Many of Apple’s suppliers have obtained gold from the Kaloti Group, a Dubai-based refinery that has repeatedly been linked to the trade in dirty gold. The Kaloti Group garnered international attention when an auditor at Ernst & Young discovered that the refinery was allegedly smuggling gold and laundering money. The global accounting firm refused to take action and allegedly forced the auditor, Amjad Rihan, out of his job.1 Rihan alleged his audit team had also uncovered Kaloti transactions involving gold imported from Sudan and Iran, both subject to U.S.

    WHAT FUTURE FOR FAIR TRADE IN SCOTLAND? An Independent review of Fair Trade Sales and Promotion in Scotland For SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT FINAL REPORT FEBRUARY 2020 Radcliffe, Pauline and Justad, Tor With associate research and facilitation from: Meteyard, M; Valerio, G; Howie, A; Fenderl, N. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ‘In November, the United Nations climate change summit in Glasgow will attract more than 30,000 people from around the world……. ‘And it will give Scotland a chance to show that we are leading by example – not just by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions but by doing so in a way that helps to build a fairer, healthier and happier society’. First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, 2020 New Year message I. Introduction This independent Review of Fair Trade sales growth and promotion in Scotland, commissioned by the Scottish Government’s International Development (SGID) Team, is published at a time when there has never been a better opportunity for Fair Trade to re-state its relevancy to the climate change emergency through using fair and ethical trade to sustain the livelihoods and environments of the poorest communities across the globe. Figure 1.1: Graphic representation of Fair Trade, International Fair Trade Charter 2018. The International Fair Trade Charter (2018) describes Fair Trade as a movement which ‘works to transform trade in order to achieve justice, equity and sustainability for people and planet’. The ‘fairer society’ which the First Minister emphasises in her New Year message, is inextricably linked to our actions (or inaction) to tackle the climate crisis at an international level, our approach to fair and responsible trading arrangements and the way in which SG and business works with its international neighbours to tackle the injustice and human rights abuses in supply chains.

    Fair Trade and Fairtrade Paper by Mark Stein | 3 Dr

    VOLUME 18 NO. 3 DECEMBER 2016 Following our successful conference in Porto in September, we present the December issue of Eursafe News. This issue focusses on the important issue of Fair Trade. Mark Stein attempts to provide an overview of the debate about the ethical im- plications of Fair Trade. His article discusses Fair Trade’s success as a Editorial social movement within the Global North, promoting consumption of products from the Global South which carry the Fairtrade logo. The paper goes on to explore the extent to which it can be seen as success- ful in alleviating poverty among food producers in the Global South and major concerns about how it operates in practice. The paper concludes with a table which lists and gives brief details of twelve organisations worldwide involved in promoting fair and ethical trade. It may well be appropriate to discuss in a future issue the work of some of the Non Governmental Organisations described here, which are promoting other forms of ethical trade.
