 Shopping Responsibly : Consumers , Brands , and Beyond

 - Thought for the day : Who should take responsibility for the products we consume ? Brands , factories , agents , consumers , everyone ? 
 In Europe , an interesting trend is emerging in the fashion industry , where responsibility starts with the brand . 
 By joining the Fair Wear Foundation ( FWF ) , an international verification initiative , brands are required to work towards continuously improving labor conditions in the garment industry . 
 Their codes are strict but the rules are simple . Brands must only work with factories that meet their eight labor standards , which are derived from ILO Conventions and the UN ' s Declaration on Human Rights . 
 If brands are stepping up , how can we as consumers do the same ? My advice is simple : be demanding - investigate how companies manage their social responsibility , and vote with your wallet . If your favorite companies aren ' t already weaving good causes into the fabric of their brand , they soon will . 
 Share if you care , comment if you have your own ideas on the subject . Thank you !
