Rethinking Fashion
Fashion is creating waste faster than the planet can handle. 92 million tonnes of textiles are discarded globally each year; that’s equivalent to a truckload of clothes thrown out every single second.
The impact isn’t hidden anymore. It’s urgent.
Rethinking Impact
Impact Retail helps you see the real story behind what you wear and shows how small choices can drive big change. It makes sustainability simple, accessible, and part of everyday life.
Because change doesn’t just start with the industry. It starts with us.
About Impact Retail
Impact Retail is a three-year consumer-facing initiative that aims to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to embrace more conscious fashion lifestyles.

Ever wondered what all those labels on your clothes actually mean? 👕🔍
From organic cotton and recycled materials to fairer working conditions and safer production processes, certifications can help tell us more about how a garment was made — but each one looks at something different.
Swipe through as we decode some of the common certifications you might come across, what they cover, and what they mean in simple terms.
Because understanding the label is one small step towards making more informed choices about what we wear.
💬 Which of these labels have you spotted before? Or is there one you’ve always wondered about? Tell us in the comments and we might decode it next.
Save this post for the next time you’re trying to make sense of a clothing tag.
